Most of the great blue herons that are so familiar to fishermen and beach goers
are a dark morph, but rarely a white morph more typical of the FL Keys will
show up. One such great white heron has been hanging out at Myakka State Park.
I watched from the Myakka River bridge as this whitish beauty caught and
carefully swallowed a spiny walking catfish, and seemed to enjoy the treat with
no apparent ill effects.
