A pair of golden eyes ducks showed up. They never nest on my pond... my pond is about 10 feet too small for them to nest, but some years we have them for a week before they move on. They are highly sexually dimorphic, and the male is such a stunner.
Anyway... I think they were in the pond for only an hour, and then flew on... I am sure their feet got too cold.
Any who...... the ice on the pond has melted enough that we pulled the island back to shore and messed with it. I think we have it just right. A sheet of wood, on a pallet, is right under the water, for easy climbing on and off. And the decking of the nest area is just above the water line, so the nest is dry.
We filled the nest with hay and put it back into the middle of the pond.
