Description
When this complex (50 units) was built, the fire department required a water source, since we are out of the main part of town and there were no hydrants. It was decided that a man made pond would be more pleasant looking than a bunch of hydrants. The fire department could then pump directly from the pond. Then came the Canada Geese – by the dozens. They left waste everywhere. So we put in a fountain. That would bother the geese and they would move on. This posting shows the results of our efforts. Photo taken yesterday.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments.

nature almost always wins. I went to the zoo today and seen crocodiles that likes a water hose sprayed on them. an albino croc was drinking the water from the hose while it was floating in it's pool

Hahaha the best laid plans.... They seem quite happy about the new fountain, thank you very much. Wonderful shot.

there is a park not far from my house where the waterfowl gather. It looks so much like this...

A case of the best laid plans of mice and men, but it was a nice try and looks great.

The best of both worlds. ;)

I would suggest a simple rachet sprinkler which constantly rotates around in a circle. They would have to move constantly or leave. Many sizes are available, just make sure it reaches almost to the shore.

How nice of your complex to provide such a nice pond and fountain for the geese! lol... it reminds me of our Moscovy duck took over the kids' wading pool and wouldn't give it up - years ago. ;c)

Terrific textures in this shot, Dana. Kind of ridiculous not to have fire hydrants, but at least you got rid of most of the geese.
