Great Blue Heron hunting and fishing - Birding Planet

Great Blue Heron hunting and fishing on Birding Planet. Their fishing method is simple, but highly effective. The Heron stands as still as possible in shallow water. When a fish swims close by, the Heron shoots out his long neck and snatches the fish.

Occasionally the heron will move around slowly in the water looking for an ideal fishing spot, but most often they just stand still and wait until a meal, in the form of a fish, frog , turtle or snake, comes within its reach.
They will also forage on the shore either looking for edibles in floating objects or stalking prey such as insects, other birds and rodents.
They will hunt in both the day and the night.
