It snowed off and on for most of the night, and was snowing fairly hard at sunrise (which I couldn't actually see since it was overcast, snowing and dark). The colors reflecting off of the pond surface are beautiful. I saw a large bird leaving right before I walked over there, maybe the red-tailed hawk, but otherwise, the neighborhood cats are the only animals moving around the pond. I sort of don't like those cats coming over, and the dogs hate them but we keep our dogs contained so the cats don't pay a lot of attention to them. Several of them amble around the pond throughout the day. I guess it's kind of like putting a food court next to a school - unless effective restrictions are in place, someone is going to show up.
