Description
Having a successful strike, and after a great blue heron's numerous attempts to shake off the seaweed so it could swallow its meal failed, it proceeded to walk to the shoreline to set down its fish and separate out its catch. It was really interesting to watch the problem-solving strategy this bird has learned in order to not lose its hard-earned catch over the water!
