A great blue heron does a flyover on a flock of young common mergansers. I wonder how many hundreds of young trout go into the creation of a great blue heron and fifteen mergansers... hmm, where's Dick Cheney when you need him?

Several human fishermen pursue trout from one shore while an avian fisherman pursues them from the other.
