his Rw looks a little low
i am sure to be in the minority around here
when i say i really like having them around. i enjoy them (GBHs), the egrets, the green herons, the black crowned night herons, the kingfishers.....i havent observed that they really dent my fish population as i am LOADED with all sizes of frogs and tadpoles which seem to keep the birds busy.
cormorants (water turkeys) are another story, fortunately, i have not ever seen any here
nice pics cat.
