Have you noticed any strange beams of light from above, late at night?

That is an interesting point. It could be Aliens. ( I thought they didn't like water - "Signs" - movie with Mel Gibson)

Besides you would think they would catch live catfish , clean them in mid air and deposit the bones on the banks. I guess they could be lazy alliens and want me to do the work for them.

I didn't read the whole thread. Did anyone mention chupacabra? When they get big like the ones in So. Texas, they kill cattle and pick their bones clean after they drain the carcass of blood.:thumbsup:;)

You are correct. Although vegetation makes up the largest percentage of their diet, they will eat mussels, frogs, fish, small turtles, and crayfish-we call them crawdads.

I'm not a witness to them eating fish. I'm a witness to them stealing fish.

I have a quick, clarifying question for those of you who have cranes raiding your ponds. What species of crane are you referring to, or, do you mean Great Blue Heron? The GBH is the wader that nabs fish in my pond/stream.
Thanks,
BOB

Actually you are right in my case. What I have been dealing with is a Heron, but I think it is the (LBH) Lesser Blue Heron. If I'm right, I have never seen a Greater BH. This one is about 40" tall and most certainly thinks he can whip my butt. He is constantly insisting that I have nothing in my bag of tricks that can keep him away. We'll see..........
