Call your state Fish and Wildlife office
and ask for their advice. There are federal
laws covering birds of prey and you need to
be aware of those.

We had so many predators we finally netted our ponds. Nothing else worked.
We haven't lost one fish to snakes, frogs, herons etc. since the netting.

I have seen some local restaurants use the following technique to control
birds flying overhead.
They string fishing line between the surrounding trees and the buildings,
usually about 15-20 feet high. If they don't have any suitable trees they
use 20 foot poles, they don't have to be very thick as there is next to no
load. They use fairly heavy line, so the birds can see it, but it fine
enough that people don't notice it. It might work against hawks, might even
work for herons.
