edge. Normally the first you see of them is when they launch into the air and fly away. If they aren&#8217;t flying away they are often perfectly still so it makes me wonder how often I walk past them without seeing them. I know I have seen many people do this along the canal. The Heron ignored me and seemed intent on something in front of it. After a minute or two it lunged forward and came up with a decent sized frog. The frog looks a bit grumpy. It then got tossed about a bit, squeezed in various places and then swallowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex
