Re: Cranes and G. Blue Herons

Last year while I was taking a group of school teachers on a bird walk
at Farmington Bay, we watched a Great Blue Heron snatch a Yellow Headed
Blackbird from a cattail and swallow it down. I don't think the Yellow
Headed Blackbird knew what hit it.

Happy birding

I forgot to mention the Great Blue Herons, about 5, with about 3
Sandhill Cranes in the field just to the South of the road where it
turns North from Mona to Goshen Canyon. I didn't know Great Blue Herons
ate mice, but as I watched one in that field that's exactly what he did.
