Went to the golf course a few days ago, and almost as soon as we got there a very large heron just wouldn't leave us alone.  He stood almost 5 foot tall, and had obviously been fed before.  He would chase our bait, and when we caught a fish he would almost attack us to get it.  So we figured, feed him and he would leave us alone.  So we thought the first the small fish about a pound or so we would feed him.  I got a pic of him flying off with about a 1.5 pounder.  Needless to say he left us alone after that meal.  If he wasn't bothering us so much I probably wouldn't have fed him a bass.  But he was getting dangerously close to us and our hooks. Heres a few pics of him bugging us.

Look how close he is.

And the meal.

Pretty bird.  Thanks for the pictures.  

Pretty cool.

Wow! That is pretty darn cool. I've never been able to get very close to herons, they spook very easily most of the time.

I am always surprised to see the size of meals that heron can eat. I saw one eat a shad during the shad run that was the length of my forearm.

That's a biggun. You sir, have a nice lil' fishing hole.

LoL!! Thats Pretty Cool!!
