Cecil, do blue herons really eat that much? Cormorants, no question. But unless a person has a small, shallow pond or is in a situation like yours where you sell fish, can a heron really do that much damage?
We have a heron around our lake every year but only one. So I buy into that theory that they are territorial. We just don't have that many places for they to stand and hunt so they're restricted to certain areas. I've seen them take small fish many times but have never seen a fish that looked like it might have been hurt by a heron. What is your opinion?
