File this under "I Spoke to Soon" (The Heron Cometh)
 

The CFO called me in a panic from the basement. I cam running upstairs to
find her and all of the kids gaping out the window. The biggest dern Heron I
have ever seen was sitting on the swing set drooling over the pond. The CFO
was telling the kids to be quiet and keep still, so they wouldn't scare it
away. Nilla the siberian husky pond guardian, 1st brigade and I immediately
lept in to action. Clearly these civilians did not have the capacity to deal
with this threat. Nilla and I ran out of the house employing a series of
blasts from our sonic defense weapons.

In the end we were successful in scaring away the attacker, and in gaining
some useful intel. Apparenly our sonic weapons are effective only at close
range.

Once he sees a pond quite clearly,
comes a heron, snacking, snacking,
Quoth the heron, 'Gimme-more'.

(sorry, every once in a while the urge
to indulge in bad poetry overtakes me)

I have arial (pun intended) views of my yard, and my pond is very hidden.
This flying rat must have good eye sight.

I doubt that. I suspect the urge to bad poetry comes up far more often than
once in a while. Fortunately, you spare _us_ most of the time :-)

BV,

Too bad on the heron.

Now the big question: Does the heron remember the vocal weapons or the
visual invitation? The answer is important to your fish! Let us know.

He was back again yesterday. I went out with the video camera, and got
within 20 feet of him before he took off. Huge animal, absolutely huge. I
have not yet seen him on the ground or near the pond. he just sits on top of
the swing set and watches.
