Pond creature (aka a mylar goon lagoon) has been trapped and removed
 
Hi all,
Thanks for clarifying the mystery. I saw a fellow homeowner navigate the treacherous slope of the pond bank to safely retrieve and deflate this golden monstrosity. But if I see any other mysterious sightings in The Villages, I know where to turn for expert advice!

Not so LOL....It could get wrapped around some poor, defenseless bird's body (wings, mouth, legs) and cause it to suffer unbearably.

WOW.. as a snow bird you really make me feel wanted with your snarky replies in asking a simple question..America’s Friendliest Town? You could have just said you didn’t know or that it’s balloons..

Would be helpful if you quoted the post you were referring to so we would know whom you were talking too.

Easy there Lianne, take a step back and a deep breath. I was LOL-ing at the OP's playful post inferring we might have our own "Nessie" here. It was NOT Lol at the damage it could cause (both wildlife and infrastructure) hence why I elaborated on it.

Pond denizen
 
Looks like a roseate spoonbill. But don’t know what it is sitting on.
