The REAL Hazard on Hole 5 (Valle del Sol Golf Course) #golfnature #golfcourse #blueheron #costarica
Patience is a virtue, but for the Great Blue Heron, it’s a survival skill. 🇨🇷🐟
Spotted this master hunter on Hole 5 at Valle del Sol yesterday. Did you know these birds use their beak like a spear? They don’t just “grab”—they deliver a high-speed strike to stun or impale their prey before swallowing it whole.
Nature in Costa Rica isn’t just in the rainforest; it’s right here in the Central Valley. This is the definition of Pura Vida—raw, beautiful, and a little bit intense.

Worth the 2-minute delay? I think so. 🤷♂️ Has anyone else seen a heron actually get the 'W' on a fish mid-round? Let me know your coolest wildlife encounter on the course below!
