And looking for handouts.. it was almost 70 here, after a few weeks with
nights below 30 degree temps!

Looks like the next 3-4 days will be the same..
========================
Here too and we're having a horrible problem with a GBH. It's learned to
fish through the birdnets where he can reach the water surface. The inground
ponds are fine but he's now cleaning out the tanks behind the house. I'm in
the process of draining them down now so he can't reach the water surface.
He got most of the GF; Shubunkins, Orandas and fantails. With the constant
predator problems we're seriously considering getting rid of all the fish
and letting nature have the ponds. The 720g tanks can be sold or used for
waterlilies. The other problem with the fish are they're no longer
profitable since the market it glutted. I'm sitting here with about 250
beautiful young koi and no market for them.
