Despite the fact that we live in downtown Napa, this morning we were having breakfast when M noticed something odd in our fishpond--a great disturbance. Water was splashing everywhere. When we went out to investigate we found a river otter was dining on our goldfish sushi.... We chased him away...and he was back in five minutes. Apparently the sushi was delicious. Then we chased him away with more determination, and we think he headed back to the creek behind our house. He'll probably return for thirds at some point...sigh.

I'm surprised your goldfish have survived at all in your outdoor pond. In my neighborhood in the Bay Area, any fish left in an outdoor pond is usually eaten by our neighborhood raccoons within a week if not within a day.
