Great capture. It's a good thing birds aren't large enough to prey on humans.

Here's a YouTube video of a great blue heron swallowing a rabbit (not for the squemish):

Try googling pelican eats pigeon for a number of examples...apparently they find pigeons to be tasty.

Heck of a way to go. Up until about a month ago , I thought they only fed on aquatic life.

Nice capture. The Egrets & especially the Great Blue Herons spend a lot of time in the fields below my ponds hunting voles.

Lubrication is needed to swallow the vole thing!

Great shots! Too many voles in the PNW anyway! Thanx for sharing.
