It seems the herons have discovered our sushi bar...I mean pond...and all our fish are gone! One disappeared a few days ago and the remaining two would not leave the bottom of the pond. Whenever someone came to the side they would just freeze up. With the nice clear water they were perfect targets. The pond is 3ft deep, but with a 16" planting shelf. Too easy for the herons.
The pond needs fish to control the mosquito population. Are there any fish herons don't eat or can't catch? Little ones or dark ones or fast ones? If the water were green or dyed black would that make it harder for herons to go fishing? Would one of those fake alligator heads help?
I knew we were in the flight path of our local herons, they fly over morning and night. I was hoping since the pond is tucked under a large norway spruce that they wouldn't see it.
