Blue Heron #1,Blue Heron Collage, andBlue Heron Videos #1 & #2

Coming out the YMCA gym one day, I saw a blue heron in Cuesta Park. I drove home to get my camera (that'll teach me to not have my camera with me at all times), and the heron was still there. Apparently, it trolls the park looking for gophers. I saw it catch and eat three of them in about an hour and a half.

Above are the two pictures that are hanging in the YMCA. Below are two videos. The first shows the heron striking and capturing a gopher. The second shows the heron eating the gopher.

Larger versions of most of the photos in the collage can be seen by clicking on this paragraph.
