When it comes to a dispute, the GBH weighs in at about 5.5 lbs., the Great Egret about 2 lbs. No contest. The Great Blue Heron wins every time. I wish there had been more eye contact, but you still caught an easily understood interaction between the two. And the whites are under control. cool

Nice composition and a good job on the exposure, Peter. I do wish there were some indication of agression or action on the part of the Heron. As is, it just looks like the Egret decided to leave.

Looks like the heron wins! Nice behavioral shot, though as has been mentioned, would have been nice to see some of the heron's face.
