Yep, and Eric Holder is leading the way to free them all before the end of the administration. I’d bet on it.
We don’t know if the disco ball works but we haven’t seen any blue herons since. As far as the baby goes only finding one me thinks others got eaten somehow. My pond guy said I don’t have enough fish to put territory pressure on new babies for them to eat them so we’re thinking snakes. Plus we haven’t seen the baby since we put it back in the pond after cleaning it so who knows?
I may have missed too much of your pond saga to be helpful, but how often are you cleaning pond? Not a prof, but think cleaning should be rare. Buy snails, tadpoles, algae plants to clean? Ponds like their eco-system.
“pond guy said I don’t have enough fish to put territory pressure”
hmmm... my pond is much smaller than yours. That alone may disqualify me of being any help to you on pond matters.
“Territory pressure” is definitely NOT my problem. Is pond guy saying buy snakes to threaten blue heron and other predators? May be a good question to ask him: Approx how many fish in your pond WOULD exact “territory pressure”?
