Got five TH feeders going now, four on the main BOW and one on the forage pond (1/8 acre). But while the fish are feeding well (12 seconds Optimal BG feed twice a day on main BOW), something else is, too: Birds.

Specifically, a GBH showed up five minutes before feeding time, waited for the BG pandemonium to begin, then flew down and snagged a couple of BG. The GBH also tried doing that elsewhere near a different feeder, but with less success.

Also noticed that the Canada Geese swam over when the feeder went off. In their case it wasn't BG they wanted, but the feed! Got some, though I suspect the fish got a lot more.

Any suggestions? Perhaps place fishing line near the feeders to thwart the GBH?
