I have now joined the ranks of those with Heron problems... I went out last night to take care of the beaver that I can't wait to trap. (He has dragged enough tree's and brush into my pond to build a visible pile in 5 feet of nice green hued water...) Anyway I went around to the end he comes in at... and got the crap shocked out of me when a heron that apparently was 'asleep' on the islnad in my pond, woke up. He went nuts. Now I have something else to take care of. (He and his co-horts explain why I no longer see fish near the surface and I stopped catching anything easily)
