If you are an observer of bird behavior, you sometimes have to chuckle at the antics of the moochers...

Sony ILCE-7RM5 FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS ƒ/6.3 600.0 mm 1/2500 iso400

Sony ILCE-7RM5 FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS ƒ/6.3 600.0 mm 1/2500 iso400

This Egret is obviously competing with Patrick Swayze's mullet, and might be winning...

It's always interesting to see different species interact.

These are excellent behavioral images Eric. I agree with Dan and it's also interesting to see the antics of the snowy egrets on there own.

Thanks! It is a big part of why I love to shoot nature, catching those moments that are relatable, like when your cat falls asleep and rolls off the couch.

You've done a super job in capturing this interaction. I have always gotten a kick out of watching these two birds interact, they can put on a show.

Thanks Rex! Still getting my feet under me with the Sony stuff. I recently switched gear from many years with Pentax... There are things I miss, and things I love. I'm having to use DNG converter so I can work the Sony RAW files, which is an extra step but at least I can convert in batches, and it doesn't seem to effect final output quality at all that I can tell. I'm still holding out, I don't want to buy an Adobe subscription, so still on CC15,
