Katydid didn't....move fast enough!

It is getting close to time for our green herons to head south, but I tried my favorite pond again and two were still around.
Got this one fishing, and also snapping insects off the water plants along the bank.

Here is a big crop of the unfortunate katydid who didn't hide well enough or get out of the way.

I noticed that the heron kept looking up and I found out why when this Osprey came out of his perch in a pine tree, made a pass over the pond, and then flew off. An unexpected and infrequent visitor, but an exciting one for me!

This small city park pond is not much to look at, is much used, and sometimes is trashy and unattractive. Regardless, I've had good luck there, and hopefully for years to come.
