The Great Blue Heron is my poo poo, I live in the Sac-San Joaquin Delta area and if you know where they like to hang out at, they're everywhere. (Not my pics) They're great huge bastards, and they'll eat just about anything - I once saw a GBH trying to eat a large red squirrel while standing by the side of a busy freeway in Chino Hills, California, of all places. The tail was hanging out of the side of his bill and I assume he was trying to turn it around in order to swallow it whole. Normally their diet is made up of fish, invertebrates, amphibians, whatever lives in shallow water. They're very solitary, don't make a whole lot of noise, are always impeccably clean while standing in muddy swamps, bogs, ditches and so forth. They've made a huge comeback from their early Seventies DDT-depleted numbers and I'm glad of it.
