I lucked out on another series of Great Egrets defending their space, or more eloquently described in a few comments from yesterday’s post, performing ballet dancing. 😊
I’ll let these two tell their six-photo story as the tension begins between them as the American White Pelicans squeeze off space while passing by.
Also note a third Great Egret (bottom right corner of first photo only) is starting something with another one out of sight.
