Muskrat branch
Another typical visitor along the pond’s edge is this muskrat (I think); not the greatest of poses but you go with what you got.
Loon on patrol
We encounter a pair of loons almost every time we wander down to the pond edge this year. If this is the usual suspect, it is a mother loon and her kid is hanging around nearby. They typically stay 20 yards or more from the shore.
Bird with four wings?
Our trip into the back woods in July had fewer birds and more of the other flying things.

Birds around the pond
During last months visit to the Ice Pond, we had a variety of birds to photograph, as you have seen already. Here is an interesting shot where the cormorant took off from its perch on the mid-pond rock (see earlier post). The bird cruised past the blue heron standing on the dock and a great egret standing on a branch above.
