Great Heron at Sunrise #natureheals #sunrisesky #greatheron | Nature Heals the Soul

People always comment man how do you get all this crazy great blue heron footage ……..well here it is…..Waiting on a great blue heron to do something can make you reconsider all your life choices 😂 it takes the patience of a saint to capture good heron footage……..It took 3 hours for this heron to finally catch this fish 🐟 !! I counted 7 other photographers that came and left in that time span after getting bored ….As I sit there quietly watching it being careful not to make any sudden movements

Great blue heron catches & devours a white perch🐟!! Great blue heron’s appetite & digestive system is incredible !! They can digest a fish this size in as little as 4-6 hours . Since they have no teeth and swallow prey whole they have 2 parts to their stomach . First chamber secretes incredibly strong stomach acid that breaks down everything like bones, scales etc….2nd chamber(gizzard) has extremely muscular compartment that grinds down food. The stomach acid does most of the work . These birds
