Either staked lines or electric fence work well. I did an article on it a few issues back. There's also plenty of discussion on the subject here.
Well I've tried the fence approach and the dang bird crawls under it, so I lowered it again to about 12 inches. Guess what? He crawled under it again!
Any additional ideas other than putting up a fence and suppling it with 220? I'm kidding, but we did find a dead BG not far from where he was seen yesterday, so I'm not crazy about letting him forage my new fish. Maybe after the pond gets established I won't care so much, but for now it's WAR!
