Believe it or not, I actually searched for this.

I believe you 100 percent! I did the same thing. :)

I don't care

[@seankanoog9458]

Don't comment if you "don't care" I mean you obviously care enough to comment. So technically you have to care at least little bit, plus I highly doubt this comment was for your own personal benefit.

TASTY AND DELICIOUS FOOD GIVEN BY NATURE.

[@mrfester42]

They are magnificent birds. I see them around where I live in a suburb of Philadelphia in the summer time.

[@Crazytesseract]

Would you like to be reborn as one?

[@flipperdale51]

I like the way he took a sip of water to wash that enormous fish down.

[@bnosrati]

i like it that they don't waste any part of the fish. They eat them in whole. WOW.

[@fasx56]

Amazing that the Heron was able to get that fish down, thought he bit off more than he could swallow, should be enough food to last that bird for a few days. One sure learns how nature's birds and animals feed themselves on You Tube, enjoyed your video Mark.

[@thomasperri5316]

He's an accomplished fisherman and a gourmet

[@benjaminjohnson765]

Was lucky enough to witness this today at a bird sanctuary and hiking spot near us in upstate NY. Watched the Heron for about 20 minutes and he consumed 2 fish this size and a smaller one...I was surprised it ate that much! Awesome to see.

[@Birdwow63]

Amazing video... Love these mighty birds :) Thank you for sharing..

[@panah8394]

Why would anyone dislike this? They're such wonderful birds.

[@archiearchiball3392]

iim havin a fish sandwich as we speak😁

[@Crazytesseract]

​​@@archiearchiball3392hope you don't mind being reborn as a heron. If you think about eating fish a lot, and appreciate herons, there is a chance you will think about a heron at the time of your death. The next life will be in the womb of a heron. You will enjoy your next life eating only fish. Though a heron has other suffering too. Is it ok for you? One who dies must be reborn, unless you want to be liberated from all suffering and (so called) happiness.

Great video, without annoying music or humans saying "OMG! OMG! all through the video. Well done!

[@MarkVanceinSRQ]

John Parker thanks!

[@voidremoved]

point the camera at your shoe as soon as the best things happen... dang those kind of video too

[@gunlokman]

Another great video - superb quality, subject and camera work. Note to fish design department "in future make all dorsal fins fold forwards - just to annoy the herons"

[@relaxingblog]

Thank you for combining your excellent film and photo. You also used soothing music

[@zealkurusuthegatorman5439]

When I think about the heron, I think of it as a modern day Austroraptor!

Excellent shot Mark!

Unbelivle! So big big fish!

[@rayarena879]

Amazing how without hands, he was able to do this. I think of myself trying to eat with my hands tied behind my back and it would be very difficult. I know that the heron has evolved as a species to do this, but it is still remarkle, especially since the fish is so large and it has all of those spinny fins.

[@InsanityRealX3]

Fun fact:owls are nocturnal which means they sleep in the day

[@Exodus20.7KJV]

How did they do this before they 'evolved'? 🤔

[@tyttuut]

@@Exodus20.7KJV They probably ate something else, maybe smaller, easier to swallow fish. The ones that could swallow larger fish were more likely to survive and reproduce, so eventually they took over.

[@Exodus20.7KJV]

@@tyttuut Maybe so, but that would be adaptation not evolution. Rayarena claimed to "know that the heron has evolved." Thus my question.

[@tyttuut]

Great video Mark!!

[@robertstalnaker57]

Very nice, Mark. Good study here on the Great Blue heron feeding.

[@MarkVanceinSRQ]

Thanks!

[@IreneDowningNature]

Great job , enjoyed watching.

Using this image to write a poem- thank you !

[@benji7587]

Great Shot and Nice Catch!

[@Your_Church_]

That was one hungry Great Blue Heron!

[@irenegewinner8193]

Prescott, AZ, Lynx Lake has several blue herons. They eat small catfish. Does anyone know if there is a small, red-legged ibis with black eyemask and hood with blue-black wings, white breast and long beak and legs? We saw 9 of these yesterday flying as a group over the lake. Almost thought they were sandpipers. Beautiful!

[@Alex-qn7qp]

It was most likely a black - capped kingfisher

[@julianguffogg]

Great capture!

[@kvz1926]

The biggest challenge is not how to catch a fish, but is how to eat that fish.

[@terryfriend16]

Wow! How did you capture this, great job, (on the heron most of all).

[@SUPERGENKI]

Very nice footage Mark, That was one big meal it got there. ^_^ Thumbs up..... Thomas

[@MarkVanceinSRQ]

Thanks!

[@bikethebronx9465]

Nice work. Both of you!

Beautifully eaten !

[@meenakshibarooa7814]

truly amazing

[@520CJJ]

Very cool!

[@007stopjockin]

Wow! I didn't think he would be able to eat that fish whole! I was expecting him to somehow break it into pieces. That was amazing! 007

[@GillAgainsIsland12]

People don't feel bad when a heron eats a fish. But eat a little duckling? MURDERERS! LOL.

[@MrAirman812]

I wonder how long till he eats again....

[@canadianroxy]

Wow, very impressive.

[@SKKEarth]

Very nice video friend.Thanks for sharing

[@kao31]

The savagery of the great white pelican! Eating pigeons whole? No salt, no pepper, raw uncooked, while alive? Wow

[@NATURERTHBD]

I love this video 😀😀😀💐

[@JoAlwoodBIRDSANDTHENSOME]

I'm seriously jealous because I've been trying to get that shot all summer. And you did it beautifully. You zoomed in and out without a hitch (using a remote, I guess) and all of it was crisp and clear. Great job. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it happen and especially liked the closeup of the fish with its head in his throat. The fish was immobile until the heron put it down, and then it started flopping, only to stop as soon as he picked it up. I wonder why the fish behave that way.

[@MarkVanceinSRQ]

I have a VariZoom on my tripod.

[@user-mj7yh4ig5m]

Hello! Thanks for your videos! Sometimes you want to photograph a bird sitting on a tall tree. Some people advise buying a used camera with a removable lens and buying a lens with a large optical zoom, while others say that you can save money and buy an adapter for binoculars or a monocular for your smartphone. What do you advise?

[@khachanel321]

[@russianvillageandcitylife383]

What a beautiful bird! Thank you for sharing this amazing video! We don't have great blue herons in Russia, unfortunatelly. We have here the grey herons. They are good fishers too but they definitely can't swallow such a big fish! :)

[@elyserva7903]

Just came here from a Russian video showing a heron catching and swallowing a catfish twice the size of that tilapia!

I love fresh fish too.

Majestic animal😻

[@melaniehiggins1710]

Do you know how much "digesting" happens on the way down? Did he then take a l-o-n-g nap? Really enjoyed watching this, thanks!

[@MarkVanceinSRQ]

I think it gets in the stomach pretty fast. Thanks for watching!

that's so weird... i didn't know herons become squeak toy ventriloquists after swallowing fish !! I guess you do learn something everyday ! :)

Tyrannosaurus rex=crushes flesh and bone with its teeth Allosaurus fragilis=uses its teeth like axes to kill its prey Velociraptor mongoliensis=pins down its prey with its claws and eats them alive Spinosaurus aegyptiacus=waits patiently for fish to come to it and senses them with its nose Ardea herodias=stabs things with its face I think we have a winner XD
