We finally got around to cleaning up our pond, clearing out about 70% of the pond scum and 50% of the cattails that were taking over.

It turns out that, rather than locating on one of the larger expanses of scum still remaining, it chose this little bit of pond scum that happened to get left behind from a large mat I removed. That wasn’t too surprising as, as close as I can tell, it’s the exact same position he could usually be found on when the larger mat was there. Every morning as the sun comes up, we can generally count on spotting him once again in this same place. I guess it’s his/her spot.
