Hi all.

While on recent visit to De Korte park I was watching a very active Great Blue Heron.
At one time I noticed in viewer a Great Egret landing just few feet away from it.
That was fun to watch when GBH started fluffing up and chasing GE.

Thanks for looking.

I know that Grey Herons/Blue Herons are solitary living birds and won't tolerate another within spitting distance, but I find it interesting that here apparently it won't tolerate the more distant cousin either. Nicely caught interaction, Kris.
