Description

The Great Blue Heron caught a huge fish, a Polypera greeni (Lobefin Snailfish), in the murky, seaweed-filled pool created with the low tide. I couldn't believe the heron could swallow it whole! And unfortunately this seems to be a rather rare fish. Then the heron immediately began looking for another fish.

The first visit by a Pileated Woodpecker in a long time. He visited twice a few days apart. A male, perhaps young, with few feathers on its forehead. The padlock is to outwit raccoons!
