Wow, I am amazed that a Great Blue Heron can fend off a Great Horned Owl! Just goes to show you that you never want to mess with a mother defending her brood!
You go, Mama Heron!
I was in Ithaca recently (got a Cornell Lab cap to prove it 🙂 ) and saw these herons IRL. They are quite the celebrities!
wow, that is one feisty mama!
Such a beautiful voice… :-/
The perfect definition of “ruffled feathers.” That mama is one mean protective gal. Way to go! Wonder why the owl wanted to attack her?
wow! hey, when did the 5th egg arrive??
