Herons

 For some reason I am fascinated with herons,

they eat my gold fish in the Koi pond.

We have given up on Koi.

Just too expensive a fish food.

We now rely on free gold fish.

The birds are huge,

they land on the roof and

hop down to have a meal or two.

They must stand 4 ft tall.

A funny thing happen this spring.

A pair of barn swallows nested in the

wood duck box and when a heron landed to feed.

The swallows dive bombed the heron until

he flew away.

I think they kept him away enough that the

small koi pond was left alone.

Fun watching nature.
