Troubled Great White Egret

Louisiana

There was something troubling all the egrets this day. At first I thought it was the anhingas, but they've been living together for six weeks now. Then, I thought it was the spoonbills but they are hardly the enemy.
There was a hidden enemy that I could not see.

Looks like it has it's neck twisted in a knot!

It does look like it's got it's neck in a knot over something! Nice capture though...

Whatever the trouble, this splendid bird perched was kind enough to perch against a clear blue sky, making a striking image! :>)
