This was my favorite photo that I was able to get during my trip to the Baker University Wetlands. I usually capture these birds fairly far away and flying away even further. I was able to capture this Great Blue Heron fairly close and as it caught and tried to eat a large fish. I stood and photographed it for a bit trying to get this fish down. I think it probably finally managed it but I had to leave before it did. It would put it down into the water and move it around in it's beak to get it in position to swallow it. Very interesting to watch.
It is neat watching them work a large fish until they get it down.
ReplyDeleteIt was very interesting how it was maneuvering it around.
