With the lake & rivers so close, we have plenty of bald eagles, along with herons & egrets. Wife said she's seen a large, unknown to her bird at the pond once or twice, but there was nothing but frogs & turtles in there until August.

Hoping they don't take notice of my pond once it's stocked, but I won't hold my breath. I would try to discourage their presence in any manner allowed by law & hope they get the message.
