Would a great blue heron have eaten a red-winged blackbird?
I couldn’t get my binocs focused fast enough to see the very first part when the heron started to swallow it, but it sure looked like a red-winged.
And it went down very fast. He did not chew thirty times.The heron seemed to have some digestive problems afterwards, wiggling his neck and flapping his head around for several minutes, while standing very still.
Bird watchers, what do you think?
