Yes, it's nesting season at Lake Martin again, and the wading birds are out in full force. Great egrets, snowy egrets, and all those other birds that we like to pretend we can identify, but really we just know that they're big and feathery.

Nearby, these two were getting along famously, till an egocentric great egret decided that *he* wanted that branch!
Poor little other bird flew off to some other branch, where he may or may not have found better company.
Of course, there was an alligator floating just near the foray, ever hopeful that one of the birds would fall in the water, terribly injured but making a tasty snack!
Or perhaps he was trying to steal the fish from this hungry, hard-working fisher bird?
