Juvenile Little Blue Heron
Dining all the day long on tender tiny bullfrogs, I wonder how many a juvenile heron eats throughout the course of a day. And wonder too, why there are any remaining in our ponds. A young frog appears to be one of the choicest of foods to feed the voracious appetites of otters, herons, and egrets.

Good Morning Gloucester 
An old ecological principal having to do with R and K selection. There are relatively few herons and relative many tadpoles/frogs.
