Description
Two species of baby heron chicks, one a Snowy Egret (Egretta alba), and the other a Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) are having a beak-to-beak stare-down on the branches of the redwood tree where they were hatched.
They are still too young to fly but are old enough to venture from their nests for short forays to take a look at their sunny new world. Snowy egrets are notoriously territorial and aggressive toward other birds, and that attitude starts young. Judging from this little egret’s expression, I’m guessing the baby Black-crowned night heron will be the first to blink!
