Hi Everyone,

There are many examples of birds using tools, but this was a new one for me: a Black-crowned Night-Heron using bread (quite expertly) to attract prey. I've heard of other bait use among herons, but had never seen a video that shows the technique so well. It's also one of "our" species, so I thought it worthwhile to share. 

Below is the link. You have to click the "Video" link on the page and wait through a short advertisement.
