Great Blue Heron Close-Up

Here is a closeup of a great blue heron (Ardea herodias) on a beach.

“Great Blue Herons eat nearly anything within striking distance, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, insects, and other birds. They grab smaller prey in their strong mandibles or use their dagger-like bills to impale larger fish, often shaking them to break or relax the sharp spines before gulping them down.” - allaboutbirds.org
