Seems like a fish that big would be way too big for heron and egret
to tackle???  I knew they'd come to your hand for feeding, but didn't
know they liked getting rubbed...how neat.  Once up on a time, I fed
huge groupers and other sea fish standing in water to my knees off a
beach in the Caribbean - came right up and took bread out of my hand,
but didn't want to be petted; one of the thrills of my life.
