Snowy Egrets (Egretta thula) in Flight over a Florida Wetland's pond during the Spring mating season. A small, active white heron, the Snowy Egret is found in small ponds as well as along the ocean shore. Its black legs and yellow feet quickly identify it. The breeding range in eastern North America extends along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts from Maine to Texas, and inland along major rivers and lakes. Their flat, shallow nests are made of sticks and lined with fine twigs and rushes. Three to four greenish-blue, oval eggs are incubated by both adults.

Judging from this guy's expression, I'd say he's a little bothered!

...I'll say!

Just a little further.....

A bit of surprisingly communal dining...usually these guys fight like crazy for a place at the feeder, but these wee featherballs seem to be getting on quite well!

Think this guy's pretty damned happy..don't you?

Don't need any psychologist or bird-ologist to deduce the message here....

It's American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) breeding season and right in the middle of Florida wading bird nesting season. This is not the time for a Snowy Egret and a Common Egret to be fighting over wading rights smack dab in the center of where mom and dad alligator want to make baby gators.
