Description
For a Great Blue heron to survive s/he has to eat on a regular basis. With this drought, fishing spots are drying up. Big Blue is an older and smarter heron. He has learned to walk out of the water before trying to swallow his catch. In the top photo, in this collage, you can see that this fish has been speared instead of caught. He had to leave the water, shake the fish off his bill and pick it up again. Zoom will not help on this posting!
Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Very good catch. I see them catch quite a few crabs around here, especially in the river which is about 2 miles from the ocean. The whole thing then somehow fits down that throat of theirs! I never know whether they are freshwater crabs or saltwater that have moved upstream.
Very cool captures, Dana
cool captures Dana, looks like he got his booty..
They are not eazy to get up on. It's like they can tell how big your lens is and how far away to stay. Great captures! :)
That's a beautiful bird. Great picture.
Super captures of this heron though I'm feeling a little for the fish who has been speared too.
Amazing bird. :))) They are very graceful and smart. :)) Excellent capture of nature at work. Thank you for sharing the beauty you see. :))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))
Wonderful shot Dana, perfect timing and sequence, this is a very precious photo! Congratulations!
That's one amazing capture, so rare you can get this kind of capture! Thanks for sharing!
Spear fishing avian style! Yeah, this rocks! Herons are such elegant creatures to begin with and it's nice to see that they learn new stuff too! Really nice shots and such an elegant creature!
Very opportune shot. They are the most fascinating birds. Wonderful set of shots.

Fantastic bird & captures!
super cool sequence
Excellent collage of this wise old bird, experienced in the ways of catching its food by spearing it, Dana.
I was watching how bears fish and the older ones would walk out of the water too to eat they fish. The TV did show one young bear trying to eat his in tehwater but the fish got away. wonderful shots here
I wonder how many lost fish it took to teach him to go on the land before eating? Not only beautiful but smart...great shots!
Great catch, for both of you!
Great capture, Dana! Smart birdie! ;o)
