They hang out with us all the time on the river. They are interesting to watch. Patient as hell and always get something….

I live on a river and I watched one swoop over the water oddly back and forth a few times, poking its beak at a fish, which made the fish move toward the shore so the heron could catch it.

Video from an African water hole where one speared a dove, watered it’s feathers & down the hatch !!
I think that’s the equivalent of an ancient licking their gums or false teef.

I was stream fishing this weekend and all of a sudden there was a huge crashing sound in the water behind me, made me jump about a mile on account of how peaceful and tranquil it had been prior. Anyway i turned around and saw a big hawk rising out of the water, flew away with a trout in its talons. It was really cool to see, but i was a little bit annoyed that i had been there for an hour without catching anything and the hawk just swooped in and grabbed one like it was nothing lmao

Yup. I see them at a local lake catching gophers, then taking them to the lake, and dipping the gophers into the lake just like in the video. They’re either washing them off, or lubricating them; possibly both.

Those damn things will eat a pound of critters a day. Fish, frogs, lizards, rodents, snakes, small (baby) birds, etc. If they can catch and eat it, they will.
