Herons

[Rob'in'To]

Tis the season to see Herons in many water areas about the city...

Bobbing for Frogs.


Maybe this Great Blue will have better luck?


I thought he was bringing me lunch at this moment.


Nah, he was just teasing.  This was all for him.  And it was interesting watching him with this struggling Catfish.  He grew tired of it flopping in his bill, so he took it to land, spit it on the ground, pierced it half a dozen times to get the struggle to cease, paraded around with it some more and then in one big gulp...  gone!


And it was cool to see a juvi BCNH.

Surprising they let you get that close.

Thanks guys!  The Great Blue hunting was entertaining, never seen one with a fish before.
