By google imaging it, I found it on a blog called atheistangel.
The text reads: This photo is from about 3-4 years ago.This heron stabbed a beer can that he thought was a fish. It took 50 hours in one week to track and capture him with a net launching rifle. he was released after a short stay at the hospital. I just think it’s important to remind Everyone the impact litter has on wildlife.
The blog seems to be defunct but here’s the tumblr I found it on: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/herron
Ellen, thank you! I looked up the site … I wish they had ID’d the people involved. It’s such an effective photo.
