Great Blue Heron catching a frog at Lakeshore State Park in Milwaukee Wisconsin on August 21, 2025

One of my birding stops today was Lakeshore State Park in Milwaukee. It is a great place to do a walk in search for birds, you never know what you will come across. The highlight today was a Great Blue Heron walking a big rock shore on the island. It grabbed a couple of small fish and then it grabbed a large frog out of the water and gave it a couple of good shakes. I guess it was a frog for lunch. It was a beautiful day with a light breeze off the lake, still kind of warm with some humidity a lot nice then what we have had. Image was taken on August 21, 2025.
