Abstract

On 5 February 2017, William Peebles photographed an adult Green Heron (Butorides virescens) capturing two separate hummingbirds at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia, Los Angeles Co., California. The encounter took place at the waterfall created in the south-central portion of the grounds. Peebles’ written description of the encounter is paraphrased in this note.
