All
In case anyone is interested, and who wouldn't be, the fishes that the heron
were eating were black bullhead and fathead minnow.

Subject: [wisb] Great Blue Heron catching fish at Greenfield Park MKE and MKE
lakefront 4/23/16 some images...
Hi all,
I birded some of the lakefront in Milwaukee this morning and for the most part,
very quiet. One Caspian Tern at McKinley Marina and 500 + Bonaparte’s Gull at
Grant Park were the highlights that I could find along the lake.
The lakefront was very cold with a stiff north wind, a few times the sun felt
great. Stopped at Whitnall and just a few Ruby-crownd Kinglets and
Yellow-rumped Warblers were present, along with typical birds we see and birds
that have been reported this time of year. I crossed paths with Bruce and we
headed up to Greenfield Park for a last stop. There was a Great Blue Heron, a
1st year, a bird born last summer, putting on a great show, catching fish,
preening and do what Great Blue Herons do. It was nice to wind down the morning
with a little excitement with the heron.
Some images of the Great Blue Heron fishing and catching fish today at this
link if you care to view them:

Thanks and good birding,
