Friends,
This is my first posting to this forum, and I have a question. I'm a biologist, specializing in fisheries. That aside, my wife and I will be living in South Point in the near future and we want to have a pool. My biology-type thinking makes me wonder how that type of oasis will fit with the surrounding ecology. There are birds, a variety of large and small mammals, and an enormous variety of insects that are sustained in an ecosystem that does not include abundant surface water sources. So, my question goes out to anyone with a pool, catchment, or stray 55-gallon drum that collects water:
Do these places attract a variety of wildlife?
