great blue heron

I photographed this Great Blue Heron tossing tadpole in an area known as the Lower Scarborough, which is located at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.

I photographed this Heron from inside my pickup. My camera and lens were resting on a bean bag draped over the open window.

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.
