Occurrence Remarks: Bellrose Waterfowl Reserve. Over 200 Great Egrets and over 200 Little Blue Herons were feeding on crayfish and Lesser Sirens in a drying marsh. The egrets plunged their bills all the way into the mud, straight down, to retreive the sirens. This Little Blue Heron found one left behind on the surface and took a good five minutes to manage to swallow it. This was the only time I saw one of the Little Blues take a siren; the only prey item for them that I could identify were crayfish, which the egrets also took. I saw five sirens get caught and eaten by the egrets, though Im sure they took many more, just too quick for me to see.; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 200.00000.
