“Where’s An Eagle?!”
A bird of prey such as a bald eagle flying overhead can set off an alarm and cause a panic among a group of birds wading in the marsh below.
Even though it is unlikely even an eagle would bother a large wader like this great egret, it’s always smart to take a look at what’s up there when the alarm goes off.
