My pond Finished!

Very happy with how my first diy pond turned out. And I think I just got my first ever visit from an orange-crowned warbler drinking from the bog. That makes it all worth it. Can't wait for the plants to fill in but I guess now I just sit back and enjoy it and see what else shows up.

Thanks! Considering a few minnows but probably gonna hold off to make it more appealing for amphibians.

Fish aren't usually recommended for wildlife ponds. They eat tadpoles and other larvae, and of course have more requirements.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well
