I saw this bird in my backyard. He caught himself a fish from the lake!! If you biggify, you can see the fish that got speared on his BEAK! The fish was shaking and shaking to get FREE! But the bird would not let him go. I guess it is better to get eaten by a giant bird than by an alligator. Aaaahhhhhhhhhh! I am staying away from the water. Because I do not want to get eaten alive. Of course, if I am in my stroller I would be SAFE.That duck in the background is one of those fake birds I told you about.
What an amazing picture Daisy! I clicked on the photo to make it larger and I could see the fish on the bird's beak! I'm glad you are safe in your stroller. I wouldn't want you to be eaten by alligators!
ReplyDeleteOooo, Mom says that's a Great Blue Heron and they are ENORMOUS! They come up here for the summer and then go down to your area to spend the winters. Lucky you, that you get to watch them from your window.
ReplyDeleteOh wow wow wow!! We have Great Blue Herons all the way up here in Pennsylvania too! There is one that is quite fond of my mammacat's parent's pond - he catches little fish too. We have never been able to get such an amazing picture though! Good job, and thanks for posting it!!! (and stay safe in your stroller)

We don't have any birds like that here, even lakes and ponds are few and far between. We are glad that we don't have alligators, too many teeth.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that is a great big bird! We have some big birds in the ponds around our house, but we have not gotten close to them--definately not close enough to get a picture!
ReplyDeleteoooo, i'm glad we doesn't lif near there. too scary!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Lake :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pic...you're very smart stay very far away from alligators;)
ReplyDeleteMaria
I did click on the picture -- I did bigify... and I saw the fish on the beak and it was scarey.
ReplyDeleteDaisy... do be careful.
Daisy, yoo are vary vary brave to git so close to that vishus bird with the long pointy beek!!! I don't know if I cood nap during the day just knowing that such scary creechers were just owtside my window!
ReplyDeleteYou sure get to see a lot of neat stuff Daisy. I remember the picture of the big lizard you showed. I will still take the little ones, thank you. Guess the big bird was mighty hungry if he wouldn't let the fish go after all the wriggling.
ReplyDeleteCasper
OH NO!!! stay away from that bird. What a scary bird!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Daisy, I am glad you did not get near that bird.
~love Prinnie (and Caesar too)
Cool picture of the heron! Hope it stays far away from the 'gator, too. That bird would make a bunch of meals for a cat, but not more than a snack for a 'gator.
ReplyDeleteGinormus birds and lizards! Yoo be karefull out der Daisy, We'd be furry upset (and mom's eyes wood leak alot) if sumfing happened to yoo.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big birdie, Daisy! Our birdies are small hummingbirds or GINORMOUS hawks and crows ... Mom said that one of the hawks could carry me off if he wanted to ... I don't wanna be a birdie's lunch.
ReplyDeleteYou'd better stay in your stroller and be safe!

That is such a COOL bird! Mom says we have those birds around here too, she sees them when going to work, as she and Dad drive through an area on the Pacific Fly way in the Central Valley here in California. But I don't get to see them from my back yard!
ReplyDeleteTara
Daisy, Alligator? Oh my! Sweet Daisy, you stay away from that alligator and the water!
ReplyDeleteI saw the fishie! Yikes, that bird is BIG!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing photo of a Heron!
ReplyDeleteCan them big birds eat cats too?!
ReplyDeletemi mom sez dat mi grammie haz doze birdz ware she livez. not heer. we hav much smaller birdz dat like to go in mi tree.
ReplyDeleteand we don't hav any fish either. not in mi backyard, that iz.
Wow, Daisy, you have big lizards and big birds where you live!!! But it is so very beautiful too! Be very careful when you go outside!
ReplyDeletePurrrrs, China Cat & Willow
Don't worry, Daisy. I am sure your mommy will make sure you do not get eaten.
ReplyDeleteWow. You sure have exotic creatures in your backyard, Daisy. You could make a documentary!
ReplyDeleteGosh, it's hunt or be hunted down where you live! We'd have to turn into strictly indoor kitties if we lived there-too risky.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo!
~J&B
Neat photo! I bet if you got out there, you would be able to catch a fish too! Yumm.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the bird tastes like...?
ReplyDeleteI think that bird is in cahoots with the bird that Skeezix saw near his house before.
ReplyDeleteThat is one big bird. I'm glad that you were safe in your stroller. It's really dangerous for kitties outside where you live.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly stay inside or in my stroller too. What a great picture - Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteSending love and purrs
Daisy PLEASE stay away from the waters edge. We didn't know you had alligators around your house. We don't want you eatten!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Daisy! There's some scary critters around your neck of the woods. I'm glad you have a nice, comfy stroller to stay in when you're outside!
ReplyDeleteCool -- that's awesome that you can get to see the big birdies eat fishies like that!
ReplyDeleteThat was a pretty big sunfish that the birdie speared!
