Had one cruise my pond a few weeks ago, hasn't been back. Don't know much about their migratory habits in So Cal area. Do they hang out all year? -- To reply by email, remove the word "space"

Have heard that they have a good memory, and that I can expect him/her again at any time. Weather's always relatively nice here, so I guess we keep vigilant! -- To reply by email, remove the word "space"

When it's real stormy out to sea, you'll see a lot of seagulls and an occasional pelican. I've only seen one pelican. I think he followed the gulls. You don't want a pelican to find your pond. He'll take all the fish at one swallow! Nice golf course, BTW. -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

That's almost a given as to where my visitor came from. -- To reply by email, remove the word "space"

Drove in from work yesterday afternoon and had a GBH standing by my pond. It's covered with netting right now to catch the leaves so it can't get in and go fishing. I've seen it back in the area twice since. <sigh> I'm afraid there's going to be some run ins down the line. I dug my pond with no plant ledges to keep the raccoons at bay but the GBH is another story. That thing looked to be 5 foot tall standing in the yard!
