Geordie - I think you just answered a major question for me. A nest just hatched a few days ago in the neighbors tree and we've been BOMBARDED with...well, you know. I cleaned about 12 off the solar cover in one afternoon when we uncharastically had it on. When the babies hatched is when I noticed something noticably different with the water, but didn't know we were being attacked till we had the cover on in the day. I'm thinking about getting some of that sparkley tape and tossing it over the wires that run between our houses to see if I can alter their flight plan.
