Standoff
An alligator was sneaking around in the marsh yesterday morning trying to intimidate a little snowy egret as a wood stork solemnly stood watch.
Soon the wood stork had some friends arrive, but so did the alligator. It all eventually ended as a stalemate once the alligators slunk off and the wood storks went back about their usual business of fishing and fussing with each other.

Wow!! šÆ
Looks like the peaceable kingdom
Looks like safety in numbers.
Brave birds! Or foolhardy, I’m not entirely sure which!
PS I am off to stay with Lucy for the week on Monday, so it will be great to look at your pictures with Lucy and Thea. We can all enjoy them together!
