Blue Heron

We started out with 5 goldfish in our small garden pond last year and this summer we are down to 4. We were never sure what happened to one of them.  Possibly didn't make it through the winter or a raccoon got it.  Or that is what we thought until Geo spotted a Blue Heron sitting 60 feet up in one of our cedar trees looking down into the pond scouting out his snack.


We quickly added a layer of small screen wire to the top of the pond.  The plants have also filled in this summer to give the fish protection from the sun and flying predators.
