Eastern Bobcat (Lynx rufus ssp. rufus)Observer
sarahbirdwebbDescription
Watched this great blue heron from a distance, with beautiful plumage, fishing in deep water up to its belly. It caught a very large fish, brought it to shore, swallowed it over a period of 10 seconds or so. Once the heron re-entered the water a few feet from shore, it began to croak/grunt and stab its beak towards something in the water. After only a few stabs, the heron was unable to move, the bobcat emerged from the water and brought it to shore, with the heron grunting often. Before the heron was even dead, the bobcat began carrying it back out towards the tree line, having a difficult time walking due to the size of the bird. From the first photo to the last, it was only a minute.
