When my pond was first stocked, every time I'd mow around it mice would jump out of the way into the water. Some would swim for quite a long distance before coming back to shore. I looked forward to the day my bass would be big enough to eat a mouse doing this while I watched.

Now that the bass are plenty big enough, I never see mice while mowing the pond edge. It's like they've mysteriously disappeared! ;\)
