Re: [cobirds] Snowy Egret Using Bill Vibration to Fish/Larimer

What's the purpose of the vibration? How does that attract fish? Deb Carstensen, Littleton

COBirders, 

Yesterday at Long Pond, Ft. Collins, Larimer County, I shot some video of a Snowy Egret using bill vibration to hunt fish. This is a known behavior (which I have never seen before) that is very interesting to watch. You can see the video on YouTube at the link below. It is available in HD and I would suggest making the video as large as possible to really see what the egret is doing.
