Beautiful bird! But not in my backyard!! Looks like all my fish are still
there from what I can tell, but they sure were spooked. Usually they will
come right up to my voice, but I didn't see any fish at first. I thought,
"OH NO!, it got them all!!!" Phew, close call, putting up fishing line now.

That heron will return, so be ready for him. I had heron problems and
more-or-less solved this by reconstructing my pond to have steep drop
offs and 4 foot deep water. Herons don't like that.

Won't work. I've seen the film...the heron dashes up to the pond and
takes a fish near the surface, feet dry.

Netting works
too.
