I made a post a few days ago in reference to a Heron With Fishing Lure Stuck in Foot. This Great Blue Heron seems to be getting plenty to eat. I did notice that it would not put much weight on the leg with the lure. This caused the Heron to have problems with balance.
I was also informed that someone did report this to a refuge employee.
How I Got The Photo: Heron Eating Well With An Injury
This Great Blue Heron hangs around the bridge near the entrance to the Auto Tour Road, which is at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.
I sat on a folding three-legged stool that I keep in my pickup. I had my bean bag on a rail supporting my camera and lens.
