Problems with herons & egrets
 Herons and egrets are medium to large wading birds with long necks, legs and bills. They are strictly carnivorous, eating fish, crustaceans and amphibians in the water, but will also take small mammals such as mice and gophers. |
Heron/egret eating fish in pond
Usually a great blue heron, great egret or snowy egret. Cover the pond with netting. Provide rocks and plants for the fish to hide in. Use a "Scarecrow" (motion-detector sprinkler) found at www.gardensalive.com or other gardening catalogs. |
Heron by road
It is normal for great blue herons to hunt in fields and along roadways, looking for rodents. |
