I appreciate your outlook. There are far too many FReepers that rush to shoot any wildlife that dare trespass. Me, I love to catch sight of them.

About two weeks ago a baby american eagle came in my yard and sat on my hammock stand not ten feet from my kitchen door. I was astounded and didn't know what he was at first as his head was not bald or white. Then he tried to fly and had a hard time and I realized he was a baby. He was gorgeous, just stared , magnificent bird. I went out and he finally got in a tree, a huge bird was circling overhead. I thought the nearest eagle to me was down in the New Orleans area but we have one. Haven't seen him since. I thought it was an omen that GWB was going to win.

If you shoot them you can look at them - and even pet them - anytime you'd like. I'm kidding, I just couldn't resist.

So what about stretching some type of mesh over the pond until the bird goes away? It seems to me that there isn't any other alternative if you want both your Koi and the Heron to live in peace. You have to put up a security fence. :o)
