Good idea! I know (hope?) you're joking. Only thing the police / wildlife police would do is tell you not to keep "food" fish available for that blue / green / great white heron, kingfisher, etc. There are so many birds around, especially in all the Delta ponds created from years of mining gravel near the rivers. We also have hawks and eagles on Willagillespie Butte, although I've never seen them closer to the ground then around the tops of the fir and oak trees. Next planned pond-related purchase: scarecrow sprinkler or other motion-activated water device. -- Happy ponding! zookeeper 3500 gal pond, 13 pond piggies Oregon, Zone 6 |

Interesting by-product of ponding is an increased awareness of wildlife, especially birds. I lived here for at least 15 years before I saw a blue heron and actually knew what it was. And all because of ponding. I now can hear kingfishers when Rosie and I walk by the Columbia River. I've id-ed lots of birds that I never even knew existed. Night herons, osperys, all sorts of hawks. These wonderful huge 747 sized American Pelicans have shown up recently. We even had an escaped flamingo in the Yakima River Delta area.... now that was a surprise spotting him while driving - luckily the community survived without an accidents! k30a |

After looking at those items prices the scarecrow for $55 wasn't a bad deal at all. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
