A Big Catch

Could herons possibly be better at fishing than humans? Of course, to them it is a matter of life and death, so they had better be good! Unfortunately, this fish was just too big for the heron to handle and it dropped it. I felt bad for the heron!

What a catch!

That's a really nice trout! I saw a heron fly off with a bigger fish than that once. Not sure if he got it ate or not.

Oh, my goodness! That is a HUGE fish! Great catch on your part as well as his.

I hope he managed to get a smaller one. Lovely capture! V

He certainly was biting off more than he could chew, wonderful timing and a great shot...V

A terrific catch by both of you. V

He'll have a great story to tell his heron buddies about "the one that got away. . . ." ;-)

"Now that I caught it, what the heck am I going to do with something this big?"

A nice image of this heron and the trout...

good capture. I seen a video the other day of a Heron, catching and eating a fish slightly bigger then this one in a 11 minute span. nicely done Vern.

Ruth Voorhis		10-Aug-2014 13:35
Excellent catch, both the heron's and yours!

Walter Otto Koenig		10-Aug-2014 13:23

Helen Betts		10-Aug-2014 06:50
An excellent capture with perfect timing, but I sure don't understand how the heron can eat a fish that big!

Shmuel Halevi		10-Aug-2014 06:25
Unusual angle.

Humans are indeed the most misfit Animals on the Planet! And the most cruel! The only one that kills their own species indiscriminately!....
