Unless you live in an area that may have gators I do not know if using
a fake gator would work. Herons living in Canada or Maine would
probably not know what a gator was


To me, that's an argument for getting a _real_ gator :-)

chortle! I can just imagine a gator exiting my pond and wandering down to the
park here in WA state, eating up those irritating Pomeranians.
Hmmmmmm.

I was sure suprised to find we have a population of Alligators here in
North Alabama. They are in the Tennessee River back-waters which one
creek is less than a mile from the house. Better keep an eye out for
eyes in the big pond!

More of them in my area of Alabama.......I have a creek that empties
into the Alabama River and its not uncommon to find gators along the
creek and in the wetland areas, and on occasion I have had a few real
ones on the bank of the stream by the field already. No signs of em
ever being in the pond but if they were in the field they could easily
have been in the pond as well. They just are not a problem here. About
4 years ago they got a 10 footer out of a drainage ditch in downtown
Montgomery......and about a month after that episode they caught
another large gator along the interstate exit to the bypass, after it
came up out of a small creek.

I had no input whatsoever.
