Great Egret and Anhinga Fight

Audubon Park Rookery - New Orleans

The anhinga, as is the anhinga style, is trying to steal the egret's nest. Notice the bright blue around the anhinga's eye; that is the mating color as is the green on the egret.

Nice capture Coleen, and good job on the exposure to capture the bright whites and the black of the Anhinga.
Looks like a fierce battle!

A battle for a tree top well captured. I think it's interesting that one bird is white and one is black. Super photo. V.
