I think the way it was described though, was that it folded out of the
way,
so you wouldn't have to look at it.

## Then it wouldn't be doing the job it was intended for.


I would assume it would be put away when I was out looking at my pond and
up
when I wasn't. Even the largest Heron would leave if I were there,
although
sometimes I wonder
=============================
Don't count on it. While we were outside pruning the trees and bushes one
day there were TWO herons working our ponds. One was at the 2000 gallon
pond and the other heron (mated pair?) about 50' away checking out a
kiddypool of Shubunkins I was quarantining. Herons get used to people
quickly. In fact all the wildlife does. I have to bring the fishfood in at
night because the possums come right up on the porch looking for
who-knows-what. They'd come in the house now if the house dog would allow
it. Small animals come to drink the water from the only uncovered inground
pool we have. It's 150 gallons and in front of the porch. It has a small
waterfall. It's there for them as well as us. It houses the excess
goldfish culls I can't sell. By fall most will have been taken by the
bullfrogs..... even the squirrels, both gray and red drink from it. :-)
