Apparently we've got a full-out wildlife habitat in the backyard. Early this afternoon, I heard a wild flurry of birds taking off from feeders/shrubberies/trees. I looked outside, but didn't see anything that could have caused it. About 10 minutes later, I glanced outside and there was a hawk bathing and drinking in the shallows of the pond. Well, yeah, that might make the mixed small birds (aka "lunch") scatter. I expect the froggies are all well-hidden as well.
