Great Egrets, three adults at nest

Shorebird Way heronry, Mountain View

The two at the right are performing a courtship or pair-bonding display, with the female grasping the male's bill; this often precedes copulation. The bird at the left may be performing an attack display aimed at one or both of the pair. For previous image in sequence, see http://www.pbase.com/image/163674223 .
