It was in my bird bath!
There were a couple of them. We watched them swimmig, attaching and eating for a while before returning them to the birdbath!
Incredible fun for all.

Adventures in Microscopy
Today, I hooked up the new OMAX Microscope and downloaded the software to record pictures and transfer them to the computer. Then, I went out and collected a sample of water from our bird bath.
This is what was in it!
It was swimming around, waving its littel cillia around the mouth, sucking in tiny dots of things. I read that this animal is a kind of phytoplankton.
