    Amazing that the Heron was able to get that fish down, thought he bit off more than he could swallow, should be enough food to last that bird for a few days. One sure learns how nature's birds and animals feed themselves on You Tube, enjoyed your video Mark.

    Was lucky enough to witness this today at a bird sanctuary and hiking spot near us in upstate NY. Watched the Heron for about 20 minutes and he consumed 2 fish this size and a smaller one...I was surprised it ate that much! Awesome to see.

      ​​@@archiearchiball3392hope you don't mind being reborn as a heron. If you think about eating fish a lot, and appreciate herons, there is a chance you will think about a heron at the time of your death. The next life will be in the womb of a heron. You will enjoy your next life eating only fish. Though a heron has other suffering too. Is it ok for you? One who dies must be reborn, unless you want to be liberated from all suffering and (so called) happiness.

    Amazing how without hands, he was able to do this. I think of myself trying to eat with my hands tied behind my back and it would be very difficult. I know that the heron has evolved as a species to do this, but it is still remarkle, especially since the fish is so large and it has all of those spinny fins.

    Prescott, AZ, Lynx Lake has several blue herons. They eat small catfish. Does anyone know if there is a small, red-legged ibis with black eyemask and hood with blue-black wings, white breast and long beak and legs? We saw 9 of these yesterday flying as a group over the lake. Almost thought they were sandpipers. Beautiful!

    I'm seriously jealous because I've been trying to get that shot all summer. And you did it beautifully. You zoomed in and out without a hitch (using a remote, I guess) and all of it was crisp and clear. Great job. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it happen and especially liked the closeup of the fish with its head in his throat. The fish was immobile until the heron put it down, and then it started flopping, only to stop as soon as he picked it up. I wonder why the fish behave that way.

    Hello! Thanks for your videos! Sometimes you want to photograph a bird sitting on a tall tree. Some people advise buying a used camera with a removable lens and buying a lens with a large optical zoom, while others say that you can save money and buy an adapter for binoculars or a monocular for your smartphone. What do you advise?
