So was the heron really able to get that whole (it looked pretty big!) snake entirely down its long neck okay? Was the unlucky prey still desperately wriggling inside the birds stomach I'm guessing as well?!<br /><br />-Kyle<br /><br />Reply: Mexicankyle35@gmail.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038770845184022437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-66211642176219366672015-03-22T07:23:00.979-07:002015-03-22T07:23:00.979-07:00Ha!!

I found a female Wood Duck snared on fishing line in a pond (the minutes-on-end distress call of that bird is one of the worst things I have ever heard). Right around the time I found a stick long enough to try and sweep under her, she disappeared under water and didn't come back up. I can only assume the final culprit was a snapping turtle, but the initial one was some lazy asshole. I am glad your duck's situation turned out better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-57202439606056929532015-03-19T20:01:37.976-07:002015-03-19T20:01:37.976-07:00I remember when you bought your house and you aske...I remember when you bought your house and you asked me how I find time to work in my garden and go birding.
