Fisherman like to protect their prime fishing spots and apparently, Snowy Egrets are no exception. While I was shooting American Avocets the other day at the Salt Pond, I kept hearing the sound of what turned out to be a squabble between two Snowy Egrets. I’m not certain what the transgression really was but, as depicted in the first image, Snowy Egret Number 1 noticed something amiss and took to wing to settle the problem. The wing of Snowy Egret Number 2 is just visible in the lower left corner of the first image. The squabble continued during several set-tos between the two birds. Snowy Egret Number 1 was clearly annoyed with Snowy Egret Number 2 and was still obviously annoyed in the final image watching the interloper flee.
