and the one in the WORKSHOP
from the « Hinterland Who's Who » website
here is a very interesteing notes on the way
the Great Blue Heron hunt the fish
http://www.hww.ca/hww2.asp?id=43
« The Great Blue Heron has two principal fishing techniques.
The first consists of standing motionless, its neck extended
at an angle of about 45 degrees to the water’s surface. Only the
head and eyes move to locate the prey. If no fish comes within
range after a few minutes, the heron gradually moves a short
distance away and takes up a similar position. When a potential
meal comes close enough, the heron slowly folds its neck back
and moves one leg in the direction of the prey. Suddenly, its entire
body unbends, its head plunges into the water, it catches the prey
in its bill, and it swallows it outside the water, using a deft
movement of the head to drop the prey headfirst into its gullet. »

website on the Great Blue Heron :
http://www.hww.ca/hww2.asp?id=43
« Great Blue Herons migrate alone or in groups of three
to 12 and sometimes up to 100. They travel day and night.
Spring migrants return to most Canadian locations in April. Some fly north in summer to arctic Alaska, southern Yukon,
and northern Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec.
They migrate south from mid-September to late October. »
