Yesterday, I was watching this blue heron at the Black Hill Park who was hunting for the fish. His(or her) first attempt was not successful. Now it was a waiting game for the bird and for myself. After twenty minutes, blue heron dived in the water and when appeared, it was holding a big fish. I think it was a cat fish and pretty big one. Please view the hunting story from start to finish. Thanks
