The last time we went out to the big marshes we were braving the heat wave. And a heat wave down here is not something to trifle with. It was just a few hours, most time in the car riding on dikes.
There wasn’t much happening, even the Alligators were hiding. I did watch this Anhinga attempt to take control of the fallen Spoonie Tree.
The Egret couldn’t be bothered to even address the Anhinga at all. A quick glance and the Anhinga settled down.
Ted, I particularly like the last image, as the branch mirrors the curve of the egret’s neck. Both form a nice frame around the other bird.
Thank you. The birds typically would not be so civil to each other. Both being predators they rarely share space. I was surprised to catch them this way.
A great look into their lives. And I got to see it in the air conditioning 🙂
