Spaghetti Junction?

I sat and watched this Great Blue Heron fishing at the edge of the lake when suddenly he hunkered down and fluffed out his plumage looking more imposing than he had a few seconds before.

 

There was a huge group of Canada Geese swimming in his direction. Most veered off and kept swimming right but a handful veered to the left, getting closer and closer to the heron. He froze as they sped past him.

 

Next thing I knew a convoy of Mallard ducks were there, too, cruising in the opposite direction!

 

All swimming around and around, back and forth, making this a high traffic area. Going nowhere - but with great determination to get there none the less.
