I looked at my window and something didn't look quite right. Then it
dawned on me, there were two herons by the pond! The statue and a
young heron. I guess it's that time of year, the young are out on
their own now and looking for a food source. Apparently it hadn't
tried to catch anything yet, my fish were are swimming peacefully. I
clapped my hands and it took off.
I'll have to watch all the time now. DH is in the Philippines and I
can't net the pond alone. Wish me luck.......

Grab a neighbor to help you. It doesn't take long. Once they find a pond of
fish they keep coming back.

It needs a battery. I went out and got one now I have to put it in.
The scarecrow doesn't reach the upper pond to well. But the bugger of
a bird was actually on the walk next to the screened porch. I could
almost touch him!

Wow! Glad all you needed was a battery and not the whole kit. Hopefully
once sprayed he'll stay away. ~ jan
