Fun Fact
The Great Blue Heron spends 90% of its active day
foraging for food. Its primary diet consists of small fish , which
it swallows head first, and frogs, salamanders, snakes, lizards, shellfish,
small birds, rodents, dragonflies, grasshoppers and many aquatic insects.
The heron wades stealthily through the shallows, and freezes for a
few moments before its strikes at its prey with its dagger-like bill. |
