This Egret had just caught a meal and was quickly swarmed by gulls trying to steal its dinner. The Egret kept moving ahead trying to finish the meal but the Gulls kept circling and buzzing him. He eventually got to finish but was continually interrupted. I just thought it was interesting to watch the interaction between the Egret & Gulls.

Wonderful photos. Thank you!
Thanks! It is fun to watch groups of birds to see what happens and how they interact with each other.
fantastic shots !
Thank You! The Gulls were going after every bird’s meals, except the pelicans! Here in New Jersey they also like clams, but to open them they drop them flying over the Wildlife Drive road to crack them open, then pick them up. Have to watch so they don’t drop them on your car.
