I understand all the inference to needing substantiated proof, but you'd be hard pressed to convince me that my pond, as insignificant as it is, wasn't stocked by bird traffic. As I've stated before, I've been able to see my pond 365 days a year since the day we broke ground. Other than the Harvey flood, there was no way the fish that were in my pond prior to the storm could have gotten there without being carried in by birds. The gators turtles and frogs obviously just walked in and walked out of their own accord as all were small enough to pass thru the fence. With only one exception that I'm aware of, fish don't walk over land. Just call me hard headed.
