Great blue heron eating a cottonmouth (I’m told, not a snake expert). Never would have imagined when this year started that my best performing video of 2023 would be a great blue heron but here we are. Not only was this my best of the year but it’s also my most viewed video of all time coming in at over 80 million views combined across each platform. Thank you for watching and for a great 2023. #happynewyear | Harry Collins Photography

Great blue herons are known to go big or go home. These lanky birds are excellent hunters but can sometimes be a poor judge of size. They will occasionally choke to death on a fish that is too big to swallow. Luckily, this fish was the perfect fit. Great blue herons have an insatiable appetite and can eat a wide variety of prey. They've been spotted consuming everything from baby muskrats to fish, rodents, and even other birds. 😲 Video of a great blue heron feasting on a large fish by Danielle
