I once belonged to a sportsman's club that had a pond they stocked themselves with trout. every now and then both a Blue Heron and an Egret would take up residence and devastate the trout stock. There was nothing that could be done. the heron has a huge wing span and would just sweep across the pond and nail a trout every pass. facinating to watch but it would make you cry thinking about the dollar value of the fish they were eating.
