Life at the Pond

Life at the Pond

The pond shines in the sun. The water is quiet. Many things live in the pond.

The pond is like a small world. It is home to many plants and fish. It is home to many reptiles and other animals.

Around the pond, ducks feed and play. They gobble tiny plants and dive to catch small fish. Mama duck watches her babies learn to swim. What fun!

Big and small birds feed by the pond. Some of them snap up flying insects. The big blue heron spears a fish and gobbles it whole. How yummy!

The top of the water is like a thin sheet. Insects skate, hop, and float on it. The water strider skates on long legs. The springtail hops across with its tail. Here we go!
