While birding Greenfield Park in Milwaukee County this morning the highlight was a scuffle with two Great Blue Herons. The two Great Blue Herons came around a corner of an island at the pond and after they landed, the scuffle began and they gave great views of the interaction between them. Must be a territorial thing. It was a slightly overcast morning with a nice breeze, temps were perfect! It was a great time with great friends, birders and photographers too. Images were a taken on September 2, 2018.
Around the corner they come…
About to land…
The scuffle…
They go their own ways…
What fun, Jim!
So glad you were there to capture this and share it.
Fabulous Jim. Thanks
That is awesome, wow! Today I was on the Old Marsh Road at Horicon. I heard a loud “growl” and thought is that some sort of wild cat? No – for the next 10 minutes I got to watch a northern harrier harassing young great blue herons and lack crowned night herons. Quite a sight (and sound)!
Wow, that was quite the scuffle. Nice series. Enjoyed the show via your wonderful pics.
Some look like a water ballet! Another great series.
I’ve never seen anything like this before. Pretty cool.
