Great Blue Machine!

[Catmendo]

One of the most stealthiest of 'em all!

Stocking silently in search of prey...

Prey located and now locking in on target...

Swam, thank you very much...

Time to sawllow down the spoils...

One happy camper!

Lovely - we have a couple near the cabin, but they never want to hang around long if we are outside, and I usually can't see them until they are flying away.

Thanks all for your comments...Gator, now that is funny!

As for a heron or any other predator, "yup" rodents and anything else they can kill and comsume is on their radar (or should I say menu)

Well now you have hit another of my favorite birds! What a nice action series. Being on the river, I have a blue heron kitchen. Someday I will have a photo of my own to add to the collection, but like Jackie, I have always managed to scare them away.
