Something got three of my goldies out of my pond about a month ago. I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and I figured it must have been a hawk or an owl.
Well, tonight, I was sitting out on the porch at the pond, and a HUGE bird landed just beyond the pond. I did not have time to try to get a picture, but I know it was a blue heron. AFAIK these birds are practically unheard of here. In my seventy years here, I've NEVER seen one of these birds here. Quite a sight!
I guess there's no doubt now what got my fish. Probably not a lot I can do to deter it from coming after the rest of my goldies. Is there?
