What's funny is that there is a fake heron about five feet away from this guy. It's plastic though, not one of those beautiful statues. Supposedly, the fake heron is supposed to keep the real ones from coming to the pond, but they have to be moved to another position every day or two. We hadn't been doing that because of the rain, and apparently this heron figured out it wasn't real and came down for breakfast. So now we have a minnow trap in the lower pond so we can put the goldfish and one butterfly koi in the top pond where they will be safe from heron predators.

ReplyDeleteWow! That's a Heron? Very cool that you got such a nice photo.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you had one of those beautiful statues that are available. How cool to have that real bird!
