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.

Great photos!
Wow!! 😯
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!
