I’ve seen GBHE’s scarfing up rodents in a grassy area. I couldn’t figure out what the heron was after, and then it did its darting behavior and came up with a little fur ball with a naked tail. Then it did what the heron in the video did, it swallowed the critter whole. It was an eye-opener for me.

Three Dunlins were observed this afternoon at the outlet by both myself and Wayne S. They were medium-sized, grayish shorebirds with long, black bills. They had white superciliums. They flew over the causeway once or twice while I was there, but always came back to the mossy part of the canal in front of the spillway. They vocalized several times.
I thought I would just give another update on these birds, which are a Life List species for me! 🙂
