Bermuda Triangle Phenomenon

[image error] I have a small pond in my back yard where I keep fish and my Turtle, Splash, in the summertime. The other day, I went out to pull weeds from around it and clean out the pond to get it ready for the hopefully approaching warm weather. There was only about a foot of water in it, but a bird was floating, gasping for air and fighting to keep its head above water. I scooped it out with a small bucket and put it on the lawn, then picked it up with a towel and moved it to the deck so our dog wouldn't bother it. It just lay on the towel for a long time. I went in the house and stayed away from it so I wouldn't scare it. About a half hour later, I went out to check and it was sitting up on the towel and a little later, it was hopping around on the deck, then flew away.

Feeling good about myself that I saved this bird, I walked over to the pond to continue my work and there was another bird in it, this time dead and no, it wasn't the same bird. My husband said it must be a Bermuda Triangle thing going on where the birds get disoriented and fall in.

Yesterday, I went out to take a look at the pond and a bird was floundering in it. I scooped it out and it flew away. Today, I checked on it and there are five dead birds in it. Maybe I should put up a No Fly Zone sign.
