Thank all of you for your more than informing comments and suggestions.
We
have decided to get one and hope this will do the trick. The heron still
checks on the pond to see if the net is gone. I saw him one day standing
in
our upper pond/filter trying to figure out how he could get to the fish in
the lower pond. All the neighbors are on the outlook and a friend has
offered us his gun. If the sprinkler doesn't work, we'll be contacting
our
friend :-). Thanks again.
=============================
Jeff, it is illegal to shoot them. You can get a huge fine and possibly a
few months in jail. It's not worth it. The last time I checked the only
birds you can legally kill are English sparrows and starlings.

Okay, that's a smiley, not a winky... this is the problem with
the internet. I'm not sure if you are joking or not. So I have to say
it - you can't shoot herons! BIG fines, big jail time! You can call
them bad names, impinge upon their honor, look at them askance, cast
aspersions, cast spells,
make voodoo dolls and skewer them but you can't shoot them...
^^^^^^^^^^^^
And you cant skewer the Herons either.

I have put my scarecrow on the sprinkler line, before the valve - so it is
on PVC.

Turning it OFF when enjoying the pond is advisable - unless you want to
entertain your guests/neighbors with your avoid the sprinkler dance - no
there is NO live video of it! sheesh Cat has learned to creep low till he
is sure it is off. hmmmm smarter than me.

Why am I not surprised about that. Cats have always _believed_ they're
smarter than us, anyway :-)

Well at least they are smarter than you. Now this group is about ponds,
not cats, let stick to the program.
