Correct Answer: Carnivores
Info: The largest heron in North America, the great blue is an excellent fisher. It stalks its prey by wading silently in the shallows or standing stock-still. When a fish swims into its range, in a flash the bird spears it with its sharp bill and swallows the prey whole. While small fish make up most of their diet, blues also hunt mice, insects, frogs, and other small creatures of land and water with similar patient proficiency.
