This great blue heron had quite the #MealTime with the large (invasive) adult American bullfrog it caught

(Billy Frank Jr Nisqually NWR)

An adult great blue heron works to get a large adult bullfrog down its throat. The frog's legs are sticking out of the herons throat. An adult heron has its feathers somewhat puffed up as it holds a large adult bullfrog in its bill.

Thank you! Herons and egrets are my favorite birds to photograph. They are so fun to watch!

Hardly anyone turned up to my herons-only party.

I have no egrets.

Egrets in Willow [left of the pair Egrets in Plum and Willow] https://collections.artsmia.org/art/1602/
Born in remote eastern Japan, far from the cultural center of Kyoto, Sesson Shūkei taught himself to paint by studying the brush styles of earlier Chinese and Japanese masters, whose works were held in many old collections in the region. These screens reveal his keen interest in the Chinese Zen painter-monk Muqi (c. 1210–after 1269). Of the dozens of extant paintings by Sesson, a Zen priest himself, none so clearly attests to his admiration for Muqi as this misty, moonlit scene of herons cavorting around a gnarled old plum tree and willow. Using the so-called “boneless” technique for which Muqi was famous, Sesson avoided contour lines, relying instead on soft washes of ink. He also borrowed several motifs directly from paintings by Muqi. Indeed, this pair of screens is as much a visual eulogy to the Chinese master as they are an evocative picture of auspicious bird and trees.

Thank you Rob. It was an almost surreal scene, with hundreds if not thousands of wood storks, egrets, herons, and other species all nesting. I've not seen anything like it before or since.

Spotted this afternoon in Hamarikyu Gardens along with several Great Egrets (‘Daesagi’) and Grey Herons (‘Aosagi’).

Here's the UC Davis press release for those who don't have a Chronicle log-in. With the report linked within.

As always, SR 37 is notable for its propensity for inundation.

Surprisingly, US 101 just north of Ventura doesn't come into play.

Beautiful weather for a Birdability Week Gathering during the Grange Insurance Audubon Center's Fall Family Fest! ☀️🐦 It was amazing to explore along the Scioto River and see so many herons and egrets!

The term "white heron" is not a single specific species of bird, but rather a general term for white herons (such as great egrets, intermediate egrets, and little egrets), and whether or not they are migratory birds varies depending on the species.

It really is. In the last week I’ve seen a couple-three RSH, a few kites, a harrier, an owl, and a Cooper’s hawk flew into my neighbors’ tree while I happened to be out front. God knows how many pelicans, herons, egrets etc.

Wonderful when a trip to the Somerset Levels coincides with cutting back the rhynes - the herons and egrets absolutely love it. @everyheron.bsky.social
