The remaining fish survived the heron today or else it didn't show up. Either way, they are still scared to death and won't come up to eat. The raccoon didn't show today either. Maybe I instilled the fear of God into him (yeh - right!)...he probably just found a better food source.
The fight is still on - even if the heron doesn't come back for a while, I have to train my fish to come up and eat....or they'll be gonners anyway.
Time will tell.

And then there were four...
The Heron strikes again! It got my other koi. The fight is on.
Yesterday we also had a very large, but scrawny, raccoon in the back yard while still light outside. I tried 3 times to scare it off and it kept coming back to the bird feeders for a snack.
The cat was oblivious as to what was going on. Doesn't surprise me.

And then there were five....
Darn those birds!
A blue heron has discovered my pond! Hubby told me he heard a big crash yesterday after he got home and got to the back deck just in time to see the heron clear the pond. After checking tonight, the bird is eating well. He got one of my "new" (from last year) black and white koi. Now I have to figure out how to deter that rascal. The cat is of no help in this area.
