I have a new 2 acre pond stockedin May with 500 3"coppernose,200 3"red ear, 100 6 " channel cats 10# of fat head minnows. The red ear and coppernose have spawned recently.
I have one to three Great Egrets which visit for about 1/2 a day and work the shallows.
What impact does these bird have or my pond? What is the largest size fish do the eat 3", 6" or larger? Thanks for your help in advance.
