I have wondered if nature has given bird species that prey on fish the natural instinct to "seed" BOW's that are devoid of fish with fingerling fish. The bird tries to fish a BOW but never sees any fish. So the next fly by they stop and puke up some fish to get the BOW started growing fish??????????

Don't know, just speculating. There just seem to be too many unanswered questions of how BOW's have fish that were never stocked and not near enough for fish to swim in from other BOW's.

Nature provides a number of unusual habits of animals that seem unnatural or things we would never have imagined the animal doing. Part of their survival and reproductive instinct.

I saw a Green Heron come close to picking up a fish in one BOW and transferring it to another. Not quite, but close. Had he started his flight a little ways further down the bank the fish would have ended up in a different pond when he dropped it.
