| Here's a lovely snowy egret with gold feet on display and plumes blowing in the wind. It's in a great fishing spot near the outflow from a water gate at one of the ponds at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville, New Jersey. |
 |
| It's a spot worth defending, apparently, and any unwary egret that gets too close gets chased. The one on the right looks cowed, doesn't it? "OK OK -- I'm going already!" |
 |
| But egret #2 did not move fast enough and ended up getting a kwok-yelling, wing-beating, flying jump directed at him. |
 |
| Then a couple of others showed up and got the same treatment. "Go on, get out of here!" |
 |
| Ok. Alone at last. Back to fishing. |
 |
| Until the next interloper arrived! |
 |
| There were interludes of unexpected synchronized flying. Very nice! |
 |
| Then finally alone again. This bird looks to me like it would grumble if it could. I'll bet more challengers showed up after I left. |
