Great Blue Herons Fighting
Moss Landing, CA: During the low tide, great egrets and great blue herons wait in the shallows of the slough. They are silent and still, waiting for fish to swim by. When they spot a fish, their heads dart towards the water to nab lunch.
Most of the birds spread out while fishing, but occasionally, one bird encroaches on another bird's fishing spot and a short fight ensues. The two birds will flap their wings and each other and jump towards one another, until one relents and leaves.
And yes... that is a sea otter in the background!
