Heron Chicks eating crawfish - well trying - Great Blue Heron feeding her young. I saw this mama heron regurgitating food for her three young chicks, about a week old. That is how they deliver fish and small animals to there young. I was expecting a fish or a small mouse… when I got home and downloaded the video from the field camera I was surprised. It was a crawfish! The lobster like create was just too big for the small herons or heron chicks. They tried and tried to eat it, but mama finally ate it herself.

This heron nest I have been watching for weeks. So cool to see the chicks growing and eating! Even if this crawfish was too big, the young herons look very healthy!
