Neo, in my admittedly limited experience, trees tend to draw birds rather than hinder them. Good to hear you got rid of the muskrats, though.

Be careful with aeration in winter. Very easy to kill fish without meaning to do so!

If you have the budget, I highly recommend considering feeding the fish. If you live near the pond, you won't need to buy a feeder.
