Snowy Tyrant
This Snowy Egret displayed his beautiful plumes at Corkscrew Swamp in South Florida. But every time he displayed, he was assaulting any bird that came near him. He fearlessly chased any and all birds regardless of size, including other Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, Roseate Spoonbills, and a large Great Blue Heron.
The birds were in "tight quarters", the result of an extremely dry season in Florida which essentially dried up the swamp, concentrating the birds into two small "lakes" (really shallow swamp ponds). That was great for photographers, bad for birds that were hungry and preparing for their mating season.
