Rodent patrol

A great blue heron catches and gulps down a rodent in a pasture along the Umpqua River near Elkton in rural western Oregon on Monday, Jn 25, 2021. The local herons normally feed on fish and aquatic animals, but when the rivers become muddy and fast moving in the winter months, the birds take to dry land for hunting.
