Territorial Conflict

It appears that controversies over territorial rights are not just limited to humans. :)
Great Blue Herons just don't like Great White Egrets infringing on their territory.
A scene from Delta Ponds.

That Heron is no "light weight", I would skedaddle as well...
Nice capture of this scene, Vern...

War of the Birds...cool catch!

Great capture, Vern. Re territoriality, a significant part of birdsong could be translated into 4-letter words meaning "go away".
John Reynolds LRPS19-Sep-2013 05:23
That heron has a large beak so the egret needs to be careful!

Birds and most everything else on this planet are territorial. What a wonderful thing to be able to capture a special moment.
