Heyas Doc!


That's not my cup of tea, but the drummer in that band is very good. :)

It was a bit scary. I kept thinking he was going to start on the chicken heads :/

How you been? Busy, busy, bet. Nice to see ya around!

Ya, very busy. I chopped out a ton of iris from my pond today, and dug over my compost heap. My, that sure kept me busy ;)


Cool! I like iris as a flower but I can see you don't want them overrunning the pond. :)

I've got large purple and white lilac bushes in my yard. The season just finished for them, but my the place smelled great for a while.

I've got no pond though. :(

Yes, overgrown with two huge forests of iris. I've had a heron taking fish from the pond recently, but have managed to deter it, even though I wasn't allowed to shoot the flying rodent.

Now that's an interesting problem. How did you manage to deter the heron?

Lengths of bamboo about 3 feet, stuck in the ground at 8 ft intervals, two lengths of fishing line attached as if a fence.

Herons land near pond and walk up to the edge of the pond to fish. The fence stops then from walking through. It seems to work.

Sorry, I was gone eating supper for a while, there. ;)

That's a very clever solution! Good thinking. ;)

Not a bad idea there, Doc. But then you'd have to train it to come back to you, and you'd have to feed it (unless you have lots of mice in the area).

So I think the fence is simpler. What I like is that Longshanks observed the heron's behavior and formed a solution based on that. That's smart! :)
