Heron!!!

Found this guy around the ponds again this afternoon. Have to assess what happened. I do have netting but whenever it comes around, the fish get spooked and sometimes hurt themselves. It has cleaned out my pond twice before. Then I put up netting.

We have one in the neighborhood too. My neighbor lost all his gold fish. I have one fish with a strange sore. Once they find you...

Heron is protected bird in CA as well as many other states. I was told that it is NOT protected in some states. Is that correct?

Oh, that is a Blue Heron Tony.

I lost a few fish to the blue heron in the past. I have been using the scarecrow. A motion activated sprinkler. It has worked great...I definitely recommend it!!!
