Observation details
Sub-adult noted previous week at neighboring small woods pond observed foraging pond edge at this more open location (both part of headwater of Pollack Creek). Very deliberate with majority of two hours here standing and waiting. Careful, slow stalking used to relocate to another standing site. One short flight used to skip over an unvegetated segment of shore. Some crouching and peering apparent and was the approach that preceded prey capture. Four fish and/or bullfrog tadpole captures witnessed. Tadpoles were the more challenging to swallow. This pond is habitat for Shiners and Fathead Minnows.
