Wild Garden Pond with Great Blue Heron

Wildlife as garden ornament is perhaps the perfect choice for a Canadian Island garden. Make a pond, occasionally cut the grass, and sit back and watch. This Great Blue Heron on Quadra Island has come to terms with visiting a pond only a few meters from a house; the fishing is just so tempting. Tough on the salamanders going down its gullet but that is wild gardening, accepting life comes and goes in a natural rhythm.
