Hot pursuit!
There were three Green Herons present, today in this section of the saltmarsh preserve. Greenies are highly territorial and these two definitely didn't appreciate each other's presence. The third heron was well behind these two. The heron in front retreated across the channel, but as you can see in the second photo, it remained upset, with its crest fully erected. Lighting was tough with the sun almost directly overhead and the birds were pretty far away, so picture quality is rather poor. #nature#NaturePhotography#birds#Wildlife#naturecommunity#photography#BirdsOfMastodon#birding#birdphotography#ardeidae
