Serendipity – if a tree falls in the frogpond

 I'm still wrestling with getting the ducks on the frogpond on the camera! 

I managed to capture the deer. No ducks.

The camera on the dock bounces in the wind. It's on a pole inside the support post for the dock. I wedged a large stick in to keep it still. 


You can see the tree stump in the above photo. The stump has proven to be a great attractant. Cinnamon I videotaped walking along it. I posted that the other day. 

The pileated woodpecker has been after it. I noticed the wood shavings,  two holes, and reset the camera.



Sure enough, the pileated woodpecker was looking for bugs. It rained, the wood ducks were keen. Maybe the shavings looked like cracked corn?!

Not only did the woodpecker like the stump, but the ducks thought the log required some inspection!

Then, Butch walked along the log. I picked them up on both cameras at the same time. The light from the one camera. I thought it quite artistic!
