This Great Egret dropped down in the middle of some nesting White Ibis. While that’s usually not a good idea, and a few Ibis did take exception, there is little room here. This is a dense rookery with most groups of birds mingling with various species. There are thousands of birds in the Port Royal rookeries.

It looks like he caused a bit of a stir 😏. That’s quite the congregation!
He did cause a little noise. This is just a spot of how many birds are here. At least two decent sized islands, with the shore also covered in birds. The local town likes to do a count, but once you hit a thousand you realize how many more there are to count and give up 😂
Wow, sounds like an interesting place.
Thousands, and once the summer heat hits….oh does it smell.
