Ok, who let the comdian in.

Had a few minutes while a CD formatted for backing up so I thought I'd check back in again.

Phred, the only "pond" in the backyard is a birdbath. They do like it though because I have seen the Mrs sitting in it. By the time I got the camera she had jumped out, but now at least I know why the water is so dirty all the time. I do have a pic of them both resting right next to it, so maybe they see it as a pseudo-pond? It certainly isn't anything to make a nest in/near. I haven't seen any sort of nest, but she sure is spending a lot of time in our backyard. He, on the other hand, must go to work everyday because he's not around nearly as often as she is. And interestingly enough, last year there were two males and one female. Evidently this is the male that won her affections - and now he's out galevanting around town all the time. Men!
