who caught me?
I find a great blue heron hunts voles in an urban garden. The garden where gardeners grow lots of vegetables attracts affluent rodents. It's amazing to watch this heron hunt, standing still for long periods of time, stalking its prey, standing next to the vole run to watch for movement, and then striking out with lightning speed to grab the vole.
