Скачать или смотреть Blue Heron Catching a Fish and the Little Kingfisher

A Blue #Heron grabs a fish from the canal waters and the little #Kingfisher seen flying about. The heron made a nice catch, a big, fat winter minnow! Just a snack for a blue heron, but cool to see how he hunts and eats. Amazing how the large bird patiently wades in the shallow waters, waiting for the prey, any sort of fish really, to swim within striking distance!

"Herons such as the great blue heron, are quite skilled in catching fish. Their method is rather simple. Usually they stand motionless in shallow water. When a fish comes by, out goes the long neck and the fish is seized. The heron moves around slowly, but most often they just stand still and wait until a frog or a fish comes within reach.”
