This is another photo in the series with the white morph reddish egret when the other reddish egret dive bombed him. Some shots before this one had clipped wings since they were so close and I didn’t have time to zoom out since I had not idea the other one was coming in. I like the stare down that the incoming egret is giving the other one.
