Yesterday, saw Great Blue Heron up in the meadow; it seemed to have something like a grey squirrel tail hanging from beak - ran for binoculars and saw it was a furry mammal - too big for mouse or vole; did not see a tail but it was about the length of the heron's beak. He flipped it and then swallowed it whole. My first experience with heron eating a mammal!! Then two mature Bald Eagles circled overhead; heron stood erect looking up at them, then settle down to digest. Lunch was still visible in neck!!
