Heron pictures taken in the wild at ponds and lakes. Many of these are great blue herons. I received this e-mail from someone describing an interesting great blue heron behavior, and I was able to find other people who had seen the same thing: "Last Thursday I have experienced a rare documentation of the Blue Heron in fishing activity that I tried to authenticate in the Internet and came upon your page. I'll try to describe you the 'case' and wonder if you have experienced it as well. It was documented in a nature feature on one of the French TV channels, showing a Blue Heron or alike, observing some kids who were throwing bread pieces to a band of ducks in a lake. He then stoled a large piece of bread in his beak and flew away to the other shallow coast of the lake. There, he threw the wet piece away to his front as a bate and waited. The bread sinked in the shallow water and nothing happened. He picked it again and threw it for the second time. The bread floated this time and a rather large fish reached it after some 15 seconds to take a bite, but the Heron was faster and cached him with his sharp long beak. Although the fish was a bit large to swallow, few throat exercises broght the catch to slip in. As one who documented this beautiful bird in fishing activity, have you ever seen such a technique? I think it's one of the most clever among living creatures, a technique man has developed to an extreme.".
