The Stewarts said this Great Blue Heron, who they dubbed "Piggy," comes to visit everyday and they recently watched him eat three gophers in a row. They snapped these pictures while he was dining in their side yard.
Don later said maybe a better name would be "The Gophernator"!
Sometimes it's uncomfortable to watch nature take its course like this but as my daughter likes to remind me, it's the circle of life!
I had NO idea herons ate gophers! I thought they were basically pescatarians!!! These photos are really awesome! Thank you for sharing!
