This White Morph Reddish Egret was feeding away when all of a sudden he raised his wings and started to bolt. I had no clue why until another reddish egret dive bombed him. Taken at Bolivar Flats during an excellent outing with Sheldon. Almost missed this shot as I was ready to leave but decided to change memory cards before I got up and this guy showed up before I had a chance to stand up. Good thing for me.
