Great Blue Heron Eats A Fish 

Believe it or not, I actually searched for this.

They are magnificent birds. I see them around where I live in a suburb of Philadelphia in the summer time.

TASTY AND DELICIOUS FOOD GIVEN BY NATURE.

I like the way he took a sip of water to wash that enormous fish down.

Amazing that the Heron was able to get that fish down, thought he bit off more than he could swallow, should be enough food to last that bird for a few days. One sure learns how nature's birds and animals feed themselves on You Tube, enjoyed your video Mark.

He's an accomplished fisherman and a gourmet

i like it that they don't waste any part of the fish. They eat them in whole. WOW.

Amazing video... Love these mighty birds :) Thank you for sharing..

Was lucky enough to witness this today at a bird sanctuary and hiking spot near us in upstate NY. Watched the Heron for about 20 minutes and he consumed 2 fish this size and a smaller one...I was surprised it ate that much! Awesome to see.

Why would anyone dislike this? They're such wonderful birds.

That was one hungry Great Blue Heron!

Another great video - superb quality, subject and camera work. Note to fish design department "in future make all dorsal fins fold forwards - just to annoy the herons"

Unbelivle! So big big fish!

Thank you for combining your excellent film and photo. You also used soothing music

Great video Mark!!

Great Shot and Nice Catch!

Very nice, Mark. Good study here on the Great Blue heron feeding.

Excellent shot Mark!

Very nice footage Mark, That was one big meal it got there. ^_^ Thumbs up..... Thomas

Great job , enjoyed watching.

Great capture!

Using this image to write a poem- thank you !

Great video, without annoying music or humans saying "OMG! OMG! all through the video. Well done!

Very cool!

truly amazing

Wow! How did you capture this, great job, (on the heron most of all).

When I think about the heron, I think of it as a modern day Austroraptor!

Nice work. Both of you!

nice video great blue herons are my favorite animal and this one had a nice snack.

As Capt. Quint said in Jaws, "A little shakin, a little tenderizin, and down you go."

Very nice video friend.Thanks for sharing

Nice to see birds and animals

Wow, very impressive.

Great footage

Great film

Interesting video. Lots of greets

Wow! I didn't think he would be able to eat that fish whole! I was expecting him to somehow break it into pieces. That was amazing! 007

生き物の　食生活に　感動する~

Amazing

Beautifully eaten !

The biggest challenge is not how to catch a fish, but is how to eat that fish.

I'm seriously jealous because I've been trying to get that shot all summer. And you did it beautifully. You zoomed in and out without a hitch (using a remote, I guess) and all of it was crisp and clear. Great job. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it happen and especially liked the closeup of the fish with its head in his throat. The fish was immobile until the heron put it down, and then it started flopping, only to stop as soon as he picked it up. I wonder why the fish behave that way.

Amazing how without hands, he was able to do this. I think of myself trying to eat with my hands tied behind my back and it would be very difficult. I know that the heron has evolved as a species to do this, but it is still remarkle, especially since the fish is so large and it has all of those spinny fins.

Majestic animal😻

What a big fish !👏

Hello! Thanks for your videos! Sometimes you want to photograph a bird sitting on a tall tree. Some people advise buying a used camera with a removable lens and buying a lens with a large optical zoom, while others say that you can save money and buy an adapter for binoculars or a monocular for your smartphone. What do you advise?

I love this video 😀😀😀💐

Great video! What kind of camera do you use?

Amazing !

I saw this and videoed it as well in my neighborhood recently . Very cool

good stuff

Nice, thanks

This is insane!!! wow

Brilliant

The savagery of the great white pelican! Eating pigeons whole? No salt, no pepper, raw uncooked, while alive? Wow

I wonder how long till he eats again....

Do you know how much "digesting" happens on the way down? Did he then take a l-o-n-g nap? Really enjoyed watching this, thanks!

What a beautiful bird! Thank you for sharing this amazing video! We don't have great blue herons in Russia, unfortunatelly. We have here the grey herons. They are good fishers too but they definitely can't swallow such a big fish! :)

I love fresh fish too.

where was thats?

How would you like your Crappie, sir? ... "Still wiggling."

Thanks

Part 2 is an alligator eating the bird. And so is life.

People don't feel bad when a heron eats a fish. But eat a little duckling? MURDERERS! LOL.

Some people with a camera or video camera are at the right spot once in a lifetime.

Só acredito pq foi filmado, como consegue engolir algo enorme desse jeito, a natureza é sem igual mesmo

Prescott, AZ, Lynx Lake has several blue herons. They eat small catfish. Does anyone know if there is a small, red-legged ibis with black eyemask and hood with blue-black wings, white breast and long beak and legs? We saw 9 of these yesterday flying as a group over the lake. Almost thought they were sandpipers. Beautiful!

###. КАКАЯ КРАСИВАЯ ПТИЦА, Я ВПЕРВЫЕ ВИЖУ... СПАСИБО ВАМ БОЛЬШОЕ ЗА ЧУДЕСНОЕ ВИДЕО 16.7.19 г. РОССИЯ...

Yum.

Wow! Fantastic! Thumbs up**************100***************!

Ela fica sentindo o sabor depois toma um pouco de água pra acompanhar rsrs

Very nice video

Cleaning and dressing a fish before eating is overrated.

Так переживал за неё, что в пот бросило, как будто сам ел!

Great Blue Heron gets a fish. I got the very first strike! #birds #birdloversworldwide #birds4all #birding #nature #wildlife

A heron eat this , a heron eat that,... dude these guys are insatiable

Where is the place ?i can't believe my eyes...

Nice video

Oh my Goodness

Super

Looks like a Tilapia fish!

Is the fish still alive in 4:02 , or is it just the wind?

👍👍👍

that's so weird... i didn't know herons become squeak toy ventriloquists after swallowing fish !! I guess you do learn something everyday ! :)

Look Ma, no hands!

BEAUTFUL ANIMAL, BRASIL OK.

How are the kids doing today I hope you are feeling better the birds are singing in you and I know okay

Nice 'catch'!

Can I use this clip in one of my videos if I give you credit?

Oh boy

Nice

wow good

4:45 For a better glide, followed by a sip of some water. 😌

*New Subscriber - Like* - Nice video my friend. Thank you for sharing! Greetings from Vietnam.

GB Herons would hunt humans if they were ten times bigger.

Increible pensé que no se lo iba a tragar 😳😲

Didn't think it could swallow the whole thing

If we gulp like that when hungry we might definitely get choked. 😵
