Refilled, reset, and now it's doing just fine. Thanks to all for the helpful advice.

RBT still biting, I'm surprised to say. Guess it's been a cooler than average spring. HSB tearing them up, we've caught several in 5 to 7 lb range. CNBG doing well, too. LMB a little slow, but then we've taken out 125 the last two weeks so maybe that has something to do with it.

No cormorants. Nesting geese have left without goslings, maybe the raccoons got to the nest. Pond slowly returning to normal levels after big rain event, viz still murky but gradually beginning to clear.


Great!!! Take a hose and wash out all remnants of the wet pellets so they don't mold any fresh food you put in there. Take the clear plastic covers off and wash them out too.
