On Wednesday we were watching a great blue heron fishing in a small pool that had formed in the salt marsh during low tide. The heron wasn’t having much luck, so he may have been in a crabby mood! That was confirmed when a cormorant came flying in to the same pool and the heron went totally bonkers and pitched a huge fit. He came rushing over and not politely, explained to the cormorant that it was not welcome and needed to immediately leave the premises. The cormorant understood and very quickly complied and left the area. Soon after, the heron did end up catching a fish so I’m sure he felt the harsh ejection of the cormorant was justified!
