Hi all,
One of my birding stops today was the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in
Milwaukee County. The highlight was watching a juvenile Green Heron fishing
for something to eat. The Green Heron was perched on some downed branches
in water near Mystery Lake. A small fish, I guess a minnow came swimming by
the Green Heron, the heron grabbed it and that was it for the minnow. A
couple flips of the small fish in the herons mouth and it was gone. Some of
the other birds to note, Belted Kingfisher, Coopers Hawk, Northern
Flickers, warblers~ Common Yellowthroats, Palms, Blackpoll and a Nashville.
Overall kind of quiet. It was a gloomy day with some brightness at times,
temps were about 65 degrees, a nice breeze from the east.
Images of the Green Heron catching and eating the minnow at the link below
if you care to view them:
