- It has been hard to get a video of an actual capture of a gopher so I decided it was time for a seasonal compilation. I have witnessed a few misses but so far the gophers have been very lucky or very elusive.

Ive never been lucky enough to see a heron hunting. Thanks for the incredible videos!
You’re welcome and I am very happy you enjoyed the video. This particular heron was a favorite of mine. I miss her like she was a pet. I’ve looked a lot lately but I haven’t had much luck. I do miss following a heron as it hunts. I did for a short time yesterday but there it is tough for the herons to find gophers this year. It’s tough for me anyway to find them.
Awesome to watch the Herons in action, love those birds
Yeah I do too.
I didn't know they hunted gophers
I love the clarity of the video. Very nice camera work.
I was recommended to your channel by YT and immediately I was hooked. Thank you so much for sharing your videos Mr. Zenor. Keep it going, more videos.
You’re welcome. I have loved birds of prey since I was young. I’ve learned in the last couple years what great predators herons can be. It has been a challenge in the last few weeks but I’ll keep trying
As the GBHs are great at catching gophers, you are great at catching great footage, sir. Excellent patience!
Thanks. I’m definitely more patient than I used to be. My herons are experts at patience.
ps I have seen your footage on other people's posts. Are you aware???
@@p47koji yeah I have seen a couple. One was good enough to at least credit me. Thanks for the heads up.
You do a great job with the vids. Just subscribed. Thanks!
Thanks I appreciate that
Its amazing to me that pretty much the same method they use to capture fish works on small terrestrial prey as well. It certainly pays to be a generalist.
Yeah they are really good at fish or crayfish or gophers or lizards or just about anything. They can spear a big fish in the same way they catch gophers or delicately grab a minnow in the same way they might catch an insect or an earthworm.
Eso es una estocada que le da con esa espada de pico que tiene esa aves a eso pobre animalitos increíble
