“OK, Everybody Clear Out!”
Earlier this weekend an alligator seems distressed to show up at his favorite morning nap spot to find it already occupied by a large group of egrets.
Since the birds were not inclined to vacate the premises, the gator had no choice but to lumber over and claim his spot anyway despite the noisy crowd.

The alligator looks like he is yelling at the Egrets to clear out, and then he took over…..

So funny how the birds barely even move over, the gator almost has to shove them.

Wow, it looks like those egrets could not have cared. Beautiful shot of the gator walking up.

I was even surprised how those egrets acted like it was just another regular day, nothing to see here.

It really is funny how the egrets pay almost no attention to the gator. You would think he would command more respect.

I’m also amazed that the birds don’t seem to be at all intimidated by Mr A.

Thanks very much, but they make it easy for me sometimes when they act in a surprising manner. They can be comical.

Those Egrets have to be just about the most blasé birds on the planet! 😎 Obviously they know Mr A is all bluster and no substance. Great captures and story, Phil. 🙂

You would thing that big ole Mr. A would command more respect from the egrets but they do not seem at all impressed. Maybe he needs to start showing them who’s boss out there. 🙂

Great capture – I like how the light is hitting the gator and birds. Those egrets are sort of like cats when they fall off the bed, they are being all nonchalant but I think inside they are a bit angry.

Oh exactly! Just like cats. Totally upset but acting all cool like this is just what they expect should have happened. Too funny.
