Hi there was an egret or heron on my pond yesterday just as I stepped out for an errand. There has also been a large jet black bird of prey (size of a vulture but sounded like a crow and flew better than a vulture)..there are ~30 ducks of various ages on the pond. When I got back 9 of 10 white Pekin ducklings (1 mo) were waiting by the barn to go inside. Did one of the larger birds get the Pekin? Should the grass around the pond be mowed so they can run away faster? How to deter these large birds of prey?
