Would a great blue heron have eaten a red-winged blackbird?

I’ve never seen a heron do that and I have been watching them for years. But,
“The primary food for Great Blue Heron is small fish, though it is also known to opportunistically feed on a wide range of shrimp, crabs, aquatic insects, rodents and other small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and small birds.” ~Wikipedia

I haven’t seen it, but I would believe it. Those guys will choke down almost anything.

edit: Ah hah!

@syz: I loved that video and am mailing it to my skeptical neighbors. Did he ever actually eat the whole thing? Our red-wings are smaller than that hapless feathered thing.

Here’s the rest of that film. It’s no wonder birds are at the bottom of their menu.

@Espiritus_Corvus: That mimicked exactly the behavior of my heron, who seemed in need of a bottle of Tums.

This event reminded me of my place in the scheme of things and encouraged me to stick to my non-animal protein diet.
