Hi Mom!

A great blue heron glided in next to the ledge and immediately began to fish its way around the edge of the pond toward the porch. By the time it arrived there it had scarfed down two 4″ bass. From there it flew to the island and chugged down two more before disappearing into the heavy brush on the other side of the island. God knows how many more it swiped while we weren’t looking. Hope it managed to become airborne at the end of the day. We don’t mind. At this time of the year there are clouds of match stick size fingerlings scattered around the pond. Bass parents are cannibalistic and are well known for rampant infanticide. (Hi, mom–what the–?!). Thus it’s the rare bass child that lasts long enough to be even a small heron hors d’oeuvre. We like it that way. We try to keep things around the pond as natural as possible, Mother Nature’s mood swings notwithstanding. We don’t eat the bass. They’re such bony little things. The grass carp are larger, but sterile and have no sex life. I feel so sorry for them that I couldn’t possibly eat one. I haven’t asked about that. I’m sure it’s a very touchy subject as far as grass carp are concern
