Heron Strike Turnbull, February 10, 2020 We spent a lot of time observing this Great Blue Heron's hunting ability. He slowly stalked the muddy shallows for some small prey, and would strike with great speed and accuracy! Note the splash as his head enters the water. I couldn't identify what he was feeding on, though; whatever it was, it was rather small.
