Can alliteration be overused? Probably, as in this title.
Green Heron are excellent hunters. From my experience, they top the 20% success rate that Clickadee alluded to on her excellent Bucket Wednesday about Dragonflies, which have closer to 90+%. But what do Green Heron hunt, and what strategies do they use?

One food Green Heron hunt is dragonflies.
No problem swallowing a dragonfly. The trick is trying to catch it. Now on to bigger prey.

A short video — sorry for the blip in the middle. I don’t edit videos, yet.
