Gregg et al,
Definitely crayfish, very likely genus Orconectes. Very cool. Crayfish are reported prominently in the literature pertaining to LbHeron diets. Crayfish were the subject of "The Hungry Bird" column in "Colorado Birds" (Spring 2014, Vol48(2)).

After our DFO digiscoping field trip this morning we went to Rogers Grove Park to see the Little Blue Heron. It was on the south side of the islands. We got digiscope photos and video.

After our DFO digiscoping field trip this morning we went to Rogers Grove Park to see the Little Blue Heron. It was on the south side of the islands. We got digiscope photos and video.
The video shows it eating something, maybe a crawfish? Link to the video below. We saw it eat two of these critters in just a few minutes. Looks like good chow. No wonder it is sticking around.
And here is our checklist with digiscoped photos included in the list.
