Good grief, that's a pretty good size snake. Wonder of it was a Bull Snake as they like to swim. Great photo of the snake and the Heron.

They have a much prettier face than a rattler, glad it got away.

Sue,
Check out this video of a Blue Heron downing a snake... interesting. I didn't know they were carnivorous.

Thanks Merry! It was the largest snake I've ever seen in any of the parks we go to!

He was cautious, Merry! We're thinking maybe the snake was a little large for the heron. Thanks for looking!

We just watched the video, CandidCanon! Maybe "our" heron could've handled that snake, but I'm not too sure!
