PHOTO STORY: Heron goes in for the kill

Photojournalist Felix Adamo thought he had the makings of a nice nature shot when he zeroed in on a great blue heron at Hart Park this week. He got more than he bargained for, however, when the heron spotted a nest of ground squirrels and made a predatory approach. Shades of National Geographic! Adamo snapped off a drama of life and death as the heron grabbed and then ­swallowed whole the unfortunate squirrel.
