Finally I put a slideshow together of the heron swallowing a big fish..........you can actually follow the thing down the throat! Not for everyone I assume, since I also have the water moccasin in this blog, and some cute ducks. Click on the link if you would like to see various stages of the heron eating the fish. Edited to add: If you want to make the slideshow go faster, just click on the thumbnails you want to see.

(15,812 posts)I liked the photos because you could barely see the outline of the fish as it went down the throat. I have learned that herons will eat almost anything, and sometimes what they try to eat is too big for them.
A couple of the photos in the slideshow are out of order though. Maybe I'll try to fix that.
