Other Pond Habitants This Great White Egret hunts at the pond. In the late 1800s, early 1900s this beautiful white bird was hunted to almost extinction because of their beautiful long white feathers. The Great White Egrets population recovered once they were protected by law; however, they are still threatened by the loss of wetlands and ponds. The white Ibis is known as the "Bird of the Pharaohs". Here the Ibis forage in groups along the waters edge of the pond. The Ibis use their long beak for probing for various fish, frogs and insects. The Great Blue Heron is a visitor to the pond. They are solitary predators and prefer to hunt alone. The Great Blue Heron prefers eating fish but will eat other aquatic creatures as well. These wild ducks are frequent visitors to the pond. The beautiful lily pads cover a large part of the pond. The water lilies open in the morning and close at night. An alligator is an occasional rare visitor to the pond. The pond is over 2 acres in size but it not large enough to satisfy an alligator. This one was about 3 feet in length and eventually moved on.

Protect the home of the Frogs! At night you can hear all the frogs in the pond happily chirping and croaking. Frogs can only survive in a healthy ecosystem. They are major indicators of the health of the environment.
