Default Down to three fish and today I think I figured out why

I had a raccoon terrorizing my pond for 3 weeks and I netted the whole
thing (I also caught and euthanized him, which is legal, according to
fish and game). I also have a heron sculpture. I am told most birds
of that type only travel solo and if a bird sees another, he won't go
there. Owl sculptures are also supposed to work. Worth a try!

Spotted a rather large redtail hawk perched on a post, watching the
pond. Over a year ago I saw one swoop down and hit the water with it's
talons but miss.

Maybe I need to get some really BIG fish that he couldn't lift out of
the water.
