"The pond ... had become a magnet for attracting bats. And many other kinds of wildlife as well. Give a wild animal the habitat that it prefers, and you can expect it to show up sooner or later; over the years since digging the pond we had seen it draw in s, s, even otters. Fish arrived from somewhereâas eggs on the feet of birds?âand made themselves at home here. Then came a to dine on them. Ducks began building s; began stopping by each spring and fall. The pond became a rest stop on their migratory journeys."
