Sorry, I was not clear. What I meant was the Heron, from what I have read,
can't get fish below 3'. I have seen video and read stories of them
standing
still for days, waiting for the fish to water depth ratio to come within a
strikeable depth. You are correct about that. They are very patient
eaters.
==============================
Yes they are! They will stand like a statue for hours. Fish are not overly
intelligent. If the bird doesn't move for awhile the fish will ignore it.
Running outside with 3 dogs and a broom screaming like a banshee didn't work
for long. These intelligent birds learned to get here before we even got up
in the morning. Then we started to see them at sundown when no one was out
in the yard.

Losing that beautiful yellow butterfly koi was the straw that broke the
camel's back. It was either net my ponds or forget fish.
