An Adult Black Crowned Night Heron was quietly minding their own business standing silently and hunting in that patient Nigh Heron way. Then along came the Ibises probing and prodding right in front of the heron.
These two foraging styles were clearly incompatible and there heron quickly and elegantly took flight to find a quitter corner of the pond.
Leaving the Ibises to have this spot for their own.

Thanks, looks like it may be a nice weekend. We may actually get some plant in the ground it the temperatures are agreeable.
Great sequence – thanks, Mike!
Thanks Adam, hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Great series and wonderful action captures. How wonderful to see all these birds in one place!
Thanks Ellen, the wetlands where we photographed this are just teeming with birds during spring migration and a fun place to just hang out and observe what happens.
