I have a buddy that has years of experience managing lakes and ponds and has been involved in the management of one of the most successful private lakes in Texas. Look at his quote below.
Quote:
By the way, got any Kingfishers around? They're well known to "stock" water bodies that are devoid of fish. They populate other lakes by catching fish in stocked ponds and dropping in nearby ponds with fewer or no fish. Nature's way of expanding the ecosystem. Eggs on bird's feet doesn't happen. The above scenario does with great frequency.
For the record I have at least one Kingfisher that spends a great deal of time perched on the top of one of my feeders.
