They live!!!!
Your lucky,
Since Jan 1st, I have been visited several times by a great blue. Yesterday
I found him with two fish, despite my fishing line strung across the pond. I
hope the rest are hunkered down in the deep end. I guess I have to switch to
plan "b".

A couple of months ago our pond was visited by a great blue heron...we
tried to chase him (her ?) away to no avail, just kept coming back.
After he finally left, there were no fish in site other then a couple he
managed to stab with his beak and kill but not extract to eat.
About a month ago I had to go in to the pond with my waders....no fish
in site.
Yesterday, was a stunningly warm day (set a new record here in Newark,
Delaware of 72F!) so out I went again to get some leaves out that had
gotten into the pond, remove a dead frog, and some general maint.
work....lo and behold my wife lets out a yelp of joy as 3 fish showed up!
Probably not good that I disturbed them, but we're so thankful that at
least some of our stock survived!
