Ardea herodias
Great Blue Heron fishing the small opening in the ice with 7 other herons at
Farmington Bay. On the way back down the road I noticed there
were now 12 herons competing for fish. Carol Davis, 1-28-07
This heron caught two in the hour I was watching and while everyone wanted the spot,
no one dared make a serious attempt at taking over. Anyone who got too close
was driven off after some heron swearin' and posturing. © Carol Davis, 1-28-07
Posturing during possible takover attempts. This confident heron
ruled the hot fishing spot. © Carol Davis, 1-28-07
