  • it was a mouse or a rat, u can tell by it's tail but cool vid

  • No question. It's a chipmunk. The blue heron stalks them all the time. He's very patient and can wait for an hour or more until the chipmunk makes a mistake. He has taken one out of a tree before. He waits outside their holes and beneath the bird feeders. I do have film of him with a frog also, plus fish. He ate all the koi fish from my neighbors koi pond one afternoon.

  • The scary thing about is herons is that they usually drown the mammals before eating them to stop the struggling. I think maybe that's what it was doing when it brought the chipmunk into the water

  • @PrivateSchemers scary thing? lol dumbass hippie.

  • Smart heron! Chipmunks are very nutritious.

  • down the hatch

  • Mmm, that was tasty...and a sip of water to wash it down!!!

  • @PrivateSchemers I've also heard that they will use water to wet their food to make it easier to swallow whole. Wet fur slides easier down the gullet than dry maybe.

  • Great footage.

  • @PrivateSchemers nah... he was like ok I need some water to swallow this ha ha ha
