Birds Green Heron Struggles To Swallow A Large Fish

A green heron struggles to swallow a large fish at Orlando Wetlands Park in Christmas, Florida, on June 6, 2026. The green heron is one of the few tool-using birds in the world, known to drop insects, twigs, or feathers onto the water's surface as bait to lure fish within striking range.
