Thanks! I heard a commotion when I was looking at another heron at the opposite direction, and that's when I saw this heron struggling to swallow the freshly caught feast!

Thank you! Yes, indeed, I tried so many times to "catch" that "catching" moment on many shorebirds and this is one of the ultra rare attempt that I actually "caught" one! Thank you for your nice feedback!

Thank you! Their hunting skills always amaze me!

Glad you now know Little Blue Heron! It's common in my area. They have white feathers when juvenile.
