Doug, A trick that seems to work around here in Wisconsin is to take a two steel fence posts and drive them into the ground about 2 feet apart. Attach a 2' x 2' sheet of heavy black plastic between the posts. Don't stretch it tight, keep it loose. The plastic moves in the breeze and for some reason they don't like it. I have seen some fields of 40-60 acres with flags like that every 200' or so. Seems to work. Another thing that the golf courses do sometimes, is to take some very heavy monofilament line (fishing line),- 60-80 lb test, and tightly string it across the pond in a checkerboard pattern about 1-2' above the water. When those big old gliders come in for a landing, they will be in for a big surprise - nothing like getting clotheslined when coming in for a soft landing! Heck, it might be entertaining enough that you may want to extend the pattern out over the back area also. Good luck.
