Two days ago, a Great Blue Heron was stalking fish at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge.

I saw it repeatedly stab at something in the water, but never saw it catch anything, unless it swallowed its prey even before coming up for air.

Meanwhile, a nearby Great Egret had better luck and seemed to enjoy its tossed fish.
