I was so incredibly excited about this one. We were up at Chincoteague, and the snowy kept chasing off the tri. Normally they don't particularly care about each other. But each time the tri-colored heron landed, the snowy would go chase him off again. Notice how the snowy egret raises the feathers on his head when he's trying to look so intimidating. :D

I smell a ribbon for this one. Also an educated guess that this is a Wendy pic.
