Barry White snapped this photo of a great blue heron preparing to eat a water snake, in Land O’ Lakes, off Collier Parkway. Great blue herons on the hunt wade slowly or stand statue-like, stalking fish and other prey in shallow water or open fields. Watch for the lightning-fast thrust of the neck and head as the birds stab with their strong bills.
