Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

You probably will never see one in MO. They are native to the South America but have been spotted as far north as the Southern US. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

Caracara are Mexican raptors that have been moving up from Central America. We had a pair visiting the pond the last couple of years. This week I have seen as many as five together so it may be a growing family. The fish are Tilapia native to the tropics/subtopics. I stock them every spring.....they die off when water temps get down into the 50's. I never seem to catch any before they die.
