Yesterday was the first time back to my pond since I put up the reflective tape and 2 of the spinning cup detractors. The tape had broken or blown off in the wind so I replaced it.
The good news is that, for now, I didn't see any cormorants and I usually have a couple. Could be they've had their fill.
I didn't see too much action at the feeder when I did a test run.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
