On our way back from the Whimbrels at the Nisqually National Wildlife refuge on 8 April 2021, Erika and I came face-to-face with a Great Blue Heron. I, for one, was happy to be larger than the wide variety of prey these herons consume. We have watched them swallow snakes, small mammals, fish, and crabs. We’ve seen photos of herons eating birds. Utilizing binocular vision and, perhaps, sighting down their bills, result in their being efficient predators.
