Default Sand Circles at end of our pond

Please see the attached pics; this is very puzzling. It looks like the pond sand has formed circles at one end of this pond.

Am I seeing this correctly? How did it happen?

The pond is long & narrow, runs parallel to Woods Way & Dooley streets in DeSoto. The end with the circles abuts Fussell. Water level is now very low & these circles are visible. This pond is connected to other ponds & we regularly notice wavelike water movement that (guessing) is just water being pumped from one pond to another. Not sure if the water movement has anything to do with the circles. And yes, the pond has regular gators cruising back & forth, and a variety of birds coming & going. Haven't seen any workers or equipment at this end of the pond for over a year.

Thanks for explaining how this happened.
