Great Blue Heron (fighting a Lesser Siren)

Ardea herodias

Description:

At my favorite wetlands this seems to be a favorite food of the Heron. They have to make sure it is dead before swallowing whole head first, so they battle and wrestle until they are able to choke the Siren or snap its neck.

Habitat:

Wetlands
