A great blue heron hunts gophers in San Francisco

Herons are fierce, agile, and dangerous predators. They feed on anything they can catch and swallow. Of course, most of their diet consists of fish, but in the spring, when you need to feed the chickens, and more food is needed, the birds can also kill small land mammals. For example, this great blue heron hunts gophers in the vicinity of San Francisco.
