Poor Little Thing

Great Egret with a Least Sandpiper.

 

I was taking pictures of turkey vultures scavenging carcasses when I heard a big commotion, first I was looking to see if a bird of prey was attacking the shorebirds but the birds were not flying, they started gathering around the great egret! Less than a minute later a juvie great blue heron came and wanted to steal the agonizing bird... he spoiled the whole show!

 

The great egret dropped the bird midair!

 

I apologize for the picture quality, I did what I could.
