Default Scarecrow sprinkler, feed from Pond?

Hi,
Id love to setup a scarecrow sprinkler to keep Herons, cats and my dog
away from my pond. I dont want to have garden hose running acrosss
the yard, the pond is quite a ways away. Any easy way to use my
exisitng pump, that is feeding my waterfall, to push water to the
scarecrow? Any thoughts?


I have had more than one scarecrow. The last one has worked fine for quite
some time but one previous one would start and not stop, another worked
sporadically. Not a huge issue if connected to your hose, but you'd be
embarrassed if you emptied your pond! I'm also not sure you would get enough
pressure using a pump. How much oomph does it have?
