Dispute

Bob H and I went back to the Rookery in Santa Rosa today. The trees were full of birds and there was much noise. A binoculared Audubon Canyon Ranch lady was doing a weekly mapping of the birds on a photograph. Much of the activity still consisted of nest-building, though the Audubon-lady said that some eggs had already hatched.
 
My photo shows a dispute between two Great Egrets. I couldn't quite make out what they were arguing about, but assume that territorial claims were at stake. There was lots noise and wing-fluttering.
