Fractious
No other bird was in the snowy egret's space on the lake. Nevertheless, he went out of his way to harrass an unaggressive great blue heron. Then he waded a long way in the other direction to chastize this immature night heron who was minding his own business on the lower tier of the lake overflow ledge. The heron seemed to cower (insert), but apparently he was just gaining his leverage!
