I am not sure how to narrate these images...perhaps the title should read
"The Red-Winged Blackbird vs The Great White Egret"
I noticed an Egret, minding its own business, moving about slowly, it was fishing.
Nearby, I saw a Red-Winged Blackbird flying about, acting extremely erratically.
It had zero impact on the Egret, it seemed like the Egret did not even notice the bird.
I can only assume that the bird had a nest nearby he was trying to protect
I took a series of pictures...here they are in the order they were taken.
Looks like a serious international peace talk. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteThese pix are excellent, sharp as a tack. I once saw a similar encounter with Harry the Heron and a blackbird. I suspect you are right about protecting nesting.
ReplyDeleteThese creatures are divine. You captured their essence. Thank you for sharing. Happy Friday and weekend. Many blessings and hugs. xx.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLove this series on the Great Egret and Red-winged Blackbird.
The birds will protect their nests. Take care, happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
It is amazing how protective those male blackbirds are. It is impossible not to notice them, unless you’re an egret!
ReplyDeletehehehehe!!!!
