This great egret was being chased around by this little snowy egret. I think it was caught in the middle of a snowy egret pairing, but it was certainly funny watching it being dominated by a bird half of its size.

Not seen on refuge all day, but tens to hundreds seen in drive out of town. Few pullover sites meant that these wetlands are mostly enjoyed at 65 mph. Next time I plan on finding a better place to stop. Also an avocet seen.

Waves knocked it up on shore, upside down. I returned it right side up, and it scuttled back from whence it came. Only one seen. An early breeder?

Description
This pair could not have been less bothered that we were 6 feet away in a kayak--they actually came toward us as we approached the tip of the sandbar. We had slid by the skimmers et al. to rest at the very end, and these two little sandpipers approached to forage right at the edge of the water. Pretty neat that they were so oblivious.
