I’ve seen them eat a small turtle ... your shot is much better than mine we’re.

Good shot. And herons and egrets will eat anything they can catch. And I mean anything. They would eat you if they were a little bigger.

Well you made me curious about what they eat. The answer is just about everything—fish, reptiles, small birds, mammals including gophers. Wow!
Nice picture!
Nice picture!

My wife snapped this quickly as we were watching a Purple Gallinule and while editing: "what is that"
That photo with the turtle is one of the sharpest I've seen. Do you mind telling us what camera and lens were used?

Nikon D850 and a Sigma 600C...Heron was preoccupied with his entrée so Sally got close...A lot of controversy with which Nikon camera is the best for birding ie D500, Z6 or 7 and I have viewed tons of critiques and videos.
All of them agree that the D850 is best. The Sigma 600C comes in last of the long lenses. ...Thank you...Oh yeah the lighting was "Golden Hour 9:30 am" .
