Meadowlark,
You're right, I had noticed opportunistic bass preying on bluegill around the feeder when bluegill were preoccupied with feeding. I guess this proves a point: (1) all semi-intelligent creatures and greater will generally take the easy route given the choice and (2) that easy choices can result in dire consequences. As an old gentleman once told me, "The short way home may not be the best way home."
Greg Grimes,
Your reply was a great summarization to my original question. Thanks.
