Great Egret (Ardea alba)

Padre Island near Port Aransas, Texas

A REAL "TEXAS LONGNECK"


This was hilarious to watch. There were two great egrets doing the same thing. Evidently one was in the others territory so they were playing the Macho game of who rules this territory.Eventually one left the area after the other one chased him off.Unfortunately I wasn't able to get both in the same picture because they weren't that close to each other.
