Dennis,
Here's the positive side to your pond-crashing GBHE! I'll sacrifice some of
my pond fish if you'll send your city GBHE to my pond (since installing it,
I've witnessed several Norway Rats - Rattus diseasus carryingus - drinking
from it in the late afternoon), assuming it has learned a few lessons from
its southern cousins... Although a Great-horned Owl would be rather fun too.
Hmm, maybe there *is* a positive side to rats???
