That bird has a lot of EGO to think it can use such a small beak to catch that fish. Then to eat it. . . . .

I was amazed the first time I saw that video. Then I saw others with Kingfishers and Crows doing the same thing in other places. Some of them are truly comical, some downright scary, how intelligent these birds seem. Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore.

I'm impressed. Thank you Betty.
I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim
The bird is a green heron. They are known for using objects to attract small fish. In other words they are actually fishing. I have a neat close-up of one and they are a very pretty bird. Maybe I'll send it to FAOL for the front page sometime...after all they are "fisherman". Turvy
Bird realized pretty quickly he had to drop down in size to get the fish to strike; wish I was that smart sometimes. Neat vid.

They are indeed a beautiful bird and quite common in the coastal plains of North Carolina.
When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
Neat pic. Thanks for posting it.Originally Posted by bobbyg
