Blue Heron stalks gopher 

Hats off to the dude that filmed this! Judging by their polite and restrained language, they have to be Canadians, lol. I like the part where the woman comes in..."Who are you talking to?" LOOOOL

Worst alternate ending to Caddy Shack ever.

Evolved from dinosaurs for sure..

I've watched literally 100's of Heron videos , They amaze me, their skill and stealth is par none. Beautiful creatures, and the chap videoing seems a real gent of a guy, we need more Herons and people like this in this world right now, as it's all turning to shit very quickly.

just blew my mind,,,, but kathy is not impressed lol

Gopher: The other red meat.

Because knowledge is power!!!

I think this is why we have less gophers in our lawn lately- We have a heron that keeps coming back!

Haha wow that was cool. Don't expect to see that every day

At least the Heron stabbed the gopher with its beak before swallowing it when it dropped the little guy! That should stop the gopher from wiggling out its ass once in the pit of despair.

basically a raptor

Yes the hold thing no knife.

A few of these birds could have totally ruined Caddyshack

I need gopher-chucks

Gonna need some Tums...

That's awesome. Cool video

This is amazing

Today's dinosaur

Ruthless!

sweet commentary

Well done! You, and the heron! Luv it.

huh. Awesome.

I thought they ate fish? Apparently that's not the case lol. Kind of felt bad for the gopher... it's just wiggling around not able to do anything. But that's the circle of life (cue Lion King track)

does it break the gophers neck to kill it while striking at 1:40?

Wow

This is his home been here a very long time

dang nice video

At what point does the gopher actually die?

It was alive in its neck

I don't see any awesomeness here. So sad

its not a gopher its a vole gophers are much bigger
