Got them... and wow, one would hate to net or doing anything to distract
from that loveliness. Ever try a motion sprinkler? So far so good here
using them.

Nice site,


Thanks. :-)

BTW, especially the hawk vs the heron
picture. We have barred owls and red-shouldered hawks which also
frequent our pond, so maybe they'll help out with heron control. I
have actually discouraged the barred owls when I've seen them in the
past, as I saw one catching and eating one of our 6" Yamabuk Ogons, but
I'll take the owl over the heron any day.


We had a Great Horned owl up in the neighbors tree sleeping a couple weeks
ago. I didn't remember your owl story... course the ponds are currently
screened so well protected right now. Just have to remember those are
around. ~ jan

Thanks for the suggestion on the motion sprinkler, Jan. I read about them previously but couldn't find many user reviews; but after reading your advice and after further research, it really sounds like my only option. I just ordered one, but I might end up needing a couple more to cover all angles.

And I probably should've ordered it next day air, as often as the GBH is visiting now...
