Black Heron - The Umbrella Bird sent on April 22, 2018 (7:10) by Dramtastic. 50 comments, 1862 views.

, 1/2000 f/6.3, ISO 500, tripod. Chobe National Park, Botswana. Specie: Egretta ardesiaca

One of the most fascinating hunting behaviors I have seen from any bird. Please watch the Youtube video below. The Heron creates an umbrella with its plumage. The Herons shakes it's legs which attracts it's prey of fish. When the umbrella is formed it creates a complete shadow and the prey cannot see the heron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-V0ir5B_EQ
