Great Blue Herons
A different post topic not in the A-Z challenge as am travelling for a week in Vancouver and Victoria!
Blue herons fishing at low tide Robert's Bay Point,
Sidney, BC...saw 5 last Monday!They stand perfectly still in the water
Caught on Monday April 14, 2014 in Sidney BC
until a tasty morsel passes by.Usually it’s a fish, but sometimes a heron will eat other water life, or even another bird.
When they see something — wham!
The heron lunges with its body and neck. If it nabs the prey, the bird usually tries to swallow it in one gulp, sometimes choking in the process.
