Heron Puffs Up

Here is the Heron just two minutes after the picture of him with the Goldfish in his beak. You can tell how much he enjoyed the fish because in this picture he is puffing out his feathers. And his throat looks pretty fat so the Goldfish might still be on the way down his throat. After closely studying the pictures, I suspect the Goldfish he ate was 10 to 12 inches long and was probably one of my three to four year old fish. This weekend I'll try to get a good look at the fish in the pond to estimate who is missing.
