This pair of nesting Herons have stood out from the others. They are noisy, animated, and have frequent ‘discussions’.
They are not disagreements, no real fighting. But they will stand up to each other, snapping beaks, and staring down the one who might have caused an issue.
The female is slightly smaller but is not intimated by the male, not even a little.
It sure looks like you caught them mid-conversation. Wonderful photo!
Great Blues are pretty vocal this time of year. These 2 especially so.
Love these.
Thanks. This pair is giving a show while building out the nest.
