Default Fish Thief Caught In The Act - Was "The Fish Are Gone"


"ChrisGW" wrote in message

A couple of weeks ago I wrote that all my fish were gone and could not
figure out from what. Well got home this morning about 8am and what was in
the pond, but a Blue Heron, the little thief. He looked at me like I was
nuts and then he figured he would fly away. It will be interesting to see
how often he comes back. I did find a couple of small (less then 3") gold
fish still left. I will wait and see. When we redo the pond we will put a
net over it.


If we didn't net our ponds we wouldn't have one fish left. It's well known
they'll keep coming back until every fish is gone.

This is the first time in 26 years we have had a Blue Heron in the back
yard. I wonder who gave him directions, damn "ON-Star" g.


He was probably just flying overhead and spotted your pond and decided to
stop by for a snack. :*(
