Battle In The Salt Marsh!

It was an odd evening yesterday in the salt marsh among the oyster beds. Many of the birds seemed to be more interested in fighting and squabbling with each other then they were in fishing which is what they would normally be doing. The great egrets, for example, simply could not get along and were totally unwilling to allow another bird to occupy a nearby area. The egret on left in these photos charged in aggressively with the idea of running off the other bird. But the tables were soon turned as the chased became the chaser, who sent the vanquished intruder flying off over the oyster beds in disgrace.
