Samiam, I think I told you before that I did follow your suggestion and put out the party flags. They are all around my yard. This is the third year I think and they are starting to fade if you need someone needs proof that I used them. They did work pretty well the first year, but after that they haven't. Like everything they learned how to deal with them. Part of it is trying to keep them all at the right height as the water goes up and down, wave action, etc. but as soon as I adjust them, they find another place they can sneak under or over. They flap their wings a little bit even when they can't fly and manage to get over them. As I said, it is not like I only have a hundred feet of frontage, so it is hard to make sure they are all at the right height. So I am finally giving up on the flags too. But my fencing should be in tomorrow and I intend to get it up. I hope that works.
