Fantastic capture, I was at a lake nearby recently and a Heron took off with an adult Coot, I was soooo shocked, luckily for the Coot it dropped and was ok, but I never knew they would take birds,
William C. Gla... replied
Hello Ann,
Thank you for the kind comment…I’ve never seen or heard of this either…but herons, like humans, will eat just about anything that moves and with that dagger of a bill they can kill large prey. However, and perhaps, the coot hollered “foul” and was released :-)
