Fall Just Around the Corner

With only living in my house for a few years, our backyard has changed a lot. We, but mostly my dad has spent a lot of time making a pond of our own. It's small but mighty as it comes alive. I had thought that I had just started observing, what I wanted to. That's not it at all. I have always loved watching it transform through the seasons, with the fish, birds, and other creatures that have stopped on by. 

Around 11 A.M Sept. 14

As I first started to observe I noticed that since it has been getting closer to fall less birds have been drinking out the pond, and been all going to the bird feeder only a few feet away. What I did focus on was my fish, and how they were all popping their heads out of the water begging for food. It's funny how fish know their routine. Do they really know based on the daylight? Or were they just randomly hungry and knew someone was their to feed them? Right now we have one Koi, and two goldfish. I took a video on feeding them that morning. 

I also heard one jump at of the water as my back was turned. Why do they do that?  

I'm looking forward into exploring what else I will discover. I would love to learn about the birds that come and visit, and how life forms even if it started by a man.
