I have had a change of heart....I used to hate the herons that walk along the shore....now they are way, way down the list of trouble....the herons walk along the shore and primarily eat frogs, snakes, minnows and small fish.
The diving water turkey are a much bigger problem. And a major problem this year at my pond....gator decoys worked before this year...but no more....sometimes 10-15 of the water turkey are fishing in my pond....they dive under.
Today I put the reflective tape out...I hope it may detour them some...of course the know-it-alls in DC protect Anhinga (water turkey)...but who protects the fish and the thousands of dollars we spend stocking the fish?
I hope they move on and migrate. Look what these A-holes (that Washington protects) did to my dock this week.
