Oh so no machine gunning then. Too bad.

My main concern about the Scarecrow is the water supply. Does it take a
standard garden hose? and if so, I will have to leave my hose on all the
time? Could I just use a modified 5 gallon bucket with hose outlet gravity
fed or does the line have to be pressurized. I dont figure it to go off much
, I could top off the bucket when needed.

Pressurized as already stated. It can use a standard (good quality) garden
hose, mine did for 5 years with no problems. Originally I got it for a
raccoon so had the hose on a timer dusk to dawn, until a neighbor called me
at noon one day that there was a heron on my roof. So now it is on 24/7
except when I have the fall/winter covers on them. Last year my guys
decided to hard pipe them, so no more moving and switching of the hoses.

I am probably going to get a Heron decoy at the LFS
today as a first step.

Serious waste of money, an alligator decoy would be money better spent.
