Turf War
Videoed at Elgin Park, Surrey, British Columbia, CA by my son, David.
I was taking some fairly long distance shots of this heron preening on a dead tree about 30-40 feet away when another heron came out of nowhere and barrel rolled him off the branch he was perched on. They fell to the ground about 20 feet away and started going at it. This video began about 5 seconds into the fight (love that instant video button!). After chasing the other heron to the Yukon, ;) he returned for a nice relaxing fishing session. When I refer to 'this' heron, I mean the defender who was also the victor in this fight!
