  • There are some videos on RUclips showing great blue heron eating duckling. In Montreal Botanical Garden, I only observed great blue heron catches fish, but never saw them hunt duckling. In a sunny afternoon (240701), I observed a wood duck family resting at pond side, then flied in a great blue heron that was very close to the wood duck family (2-3 meters only). The heron immediately started to fishing, and the duck family continued to rest.
    Based on the calm reaction of duck mama, I would conclude that she had never experienced being hunt by a heron, and this is probably due to that there are plenty of fish in the pond.
