Mork, not a chance! Well, I'm not giving up! Umpteen water plants will now, hopefully, shelter another 4 dozen baby goldfish. The pond was vacant of all fish for quite a few months. Still the pesky heron visited. Drank water from our pool ...despite its chlorine content..... So we will see who wins this round!! 1 for the heron/0 for the pondowner.

I drip water into the birdbath which then then runs into the pond. Oreoles, mockingbirds, catfish, doves, grackles and blue jays visit regularly. Its awfully hot right now, so the doves literally sit right in the centre of the birdbath till they are scooted out by other birds wanting to cool off!
