Judi Willis took these photos of a Great Blue Heron fishing in the Stormwater pond in Votier’s Flats, Fish Creek Park, in early August.
A determined-looking heron looking for food.
Success! A good-sized meal.
Does anyone know what species the fish is? The down-turned mouth suggests a sucker or other bottom-feeder.
Bonus photo: an American White Pelican landing on the water:
Hello Calgary birds,
I’ve been admiring and enjoying your splendid photographs for over a year now.
the website is a constant source of interest and pleasure.
With all best wishes from North Yorkshire, UK,
Ann H.
Thank you very much!
Great photos! I love the “determined looking” description, very appropriate.
