Great Blue Heron
Please watch; this is pretty funny. I installed a Great Blue Heron decoy on the edge of my pond when I first stocked it with goldfish. This shows what a wonderful job the decoy does in scaring away herons. NOT! I share all of my goldfish (I am not stupid enough to have Koi) with Herons, Kingfisher's and Osprey. I started with 10 cent feeder fish, and now have thousands of goldfish. The birds, ducks included, keep the fish population under control. Yes, I hate to see one of my foot-long goldfish go down the skinny neck of the Heron (alive!) but that is life with a large pond. I have learned to deal with it.

Great Blue Heron During Sunset At Seaside, Florida
This video was shot with my trusty Sony HDR-SR10 during vacation in Seaside, Florida. The Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands. The primary food for Great Blue Heron is small fish, though it is also known to opportunistically feed on a wide range of shrimps, crabs, aquatic insects, rodents, other small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and small birds.] It is generally a solitary feeder. Individuals usually forage while standing in water, but will also feed in fields or drop from the air, or a perch, into water. It feeds in shallow water or at the water's edge during both the night and the day, but especially around dawn and dusk. It uses its long legs to wade through shallow water, and spears with its long, sharp bill.

They are expert fishers.

The deathblow is delivered with a quick thrust of the sharp bill, and the prey is swallowed whole. More info: animals.nationalgeographic.com or en.wikipedia.org

GREAT BLUE HERON/ KAYAKING
This is my friend Amie, and the point of this video is the Blue Heron Blue Heron Identification: This is the largest of North Carolina's wading birds, standing about four feet tall. They are easily identified by size, grayish body, and white head with a dark stripe above the eyes. Nesting Habitat: In North Carolina, Great Blue Herons nest almost entirely in swamp forests. Their nests are usually in the tops of tall cypress or pine trees. Breeding Biology: Great Blue Herons typically nest in small colonies and occasionally they will nest singly. Adults begin to gather at colony sites in March. They build large, platform nests of plant stems and twigs, often lined with small twigs or grasses. The female lays three to five pale bluish-green eggs. Incubation requires 28 days and nestlings fledge at about 55-60 days of age. Great Blue Herons occupy North Carolina colony sites from March to mid-August. Food: Great Blue Herons feed on a wide variety of prey which includes fish, crustaceans, small reptiles and amphibians, insects, small birds and mammals.

The Great Blue Heron and the Snake that Wouldn't Give Up! - NIMBY
It was lunchtime when my wife called excitedly to me: "There's a Great Blue Heron trying to eat a snake out at the lagoon - and it looks like the snake is wrapped around the heron's neck!" I quickly grabbed the video camera and picked up the action with the heron trying to figure out how to get the snake off its neck and into its gullet! Not for the squeamish or faint of heart ... but part of our NIMBY (Nature In My Back Yard) series of videos!
