I saw a news story this morning about a town in Northern
California which (again) has been invaded by Egrets and Herons.
Their populations are growing everywhere in the US, thanks to their
protected species status. They maim and eat our pond fish.

Their populations are increasing *because* of our ponds. :-) They've got
more to eat than ever before and are protected by law.

They nest heavily at the lake on Balboa Golf Course. Our ponds, while easy
pickings, are just desserts to them. ;-]

I've known US vets who served as far back as the Spanish American War.
They are all my heroes! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops.
