Thanks, Bill. I'm glad to hear that I can simply re-stock. Sure makes the management easier. I'll start feeding on all the warm days.

Meadowlark, there's lots of cormorants near me, I'm close to a lake and they are abundant in the shallows there. I'm not sure how I can control them if they become a nuisance. Maybe I can rig a cannon like they have at the Dundee hatchery. It shoots a blank load randomly but periodically to scare off the predatory birds. Any ideas on how to build something like that?
