M and I saw this great blue heron in the creek while we were out for a walk.

The pictures aren’t the best because I took them with my cell, but they will do.

The kokanee (a landlocked type of salmon) are starting to make their way upstream for spawning, and Mr Heron had his eye on one.

The salmon was in the shade at the edge of the creek.

I wasn’t able to get a shot of the actual capture because there were bushes in the way, but when he straightened up we could see that he had some lunch.

He quickly turned the fish around and swallowed it head first.

You can see from the size of his neck that the fish is only part of the way down!

That was yummy! Wait, do I see another one?

Happy Tuesday.
