Yesterday the pond pump was surging due to all the ice from the cold weather. The ice made the water low. The boss's wife had me out there smashing through some of it, to put in the pond heater. The ice was 1/2 an inch thick there by the pump. I felt like the Hulk, Glen smash! I had to smash a hole big enough to get the heater in the water. It sank to the bottom, and I plugged it in. Hopefully we can unplug it soon.
Today there is a large area ice free around the pond heater. I bet the fish are happier. We also have a water tray in the back yard that is plugged in, to keep it from freezing. There were several bluebirds, robins and other birds getting a drink. It has to be hard to find a decent source of water for birds with much of the water frozen.
There was even two squirrels getting a drink. We have a bird feeder in the front yard, but not much activity there. We only feed the birds in winter when it is hard for birds to find food. It will be snowing tomorrow according to the forecast.
