Territorial fight is an integral part of wildlife. They defend their own space, food and female. Sounds human?

Thanks for looking.
Anupam!!
I really struggled with its plumage in the early morning light. I feel it’s 'blown out' too much?
Intermediate Egrets (Ardea intermedia) Intermediate Egrets occur throughout most of the world. They are common throughout Australia, with the exception of the most arid areas.
247) Intermediate Egret
Intermediate Egret, Mesophoyx intermedia, Bangau
It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia. This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the great egret and smaller white egrets like the little egret and cattle egret, though nearer to little than great. All-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. The intermediate egret stalks its prey methodically in shallow coastal or fresh water, including flooded fields. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans and insects. It often nests in colonies with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs.
Tiada nama khas tempatan untuk spesis ini. Ia secara amnya dipanggil bangau. Saiznya antara Bangau Besar dan Bangau Kerbau. Seperti bangau lain, ia adalah pelawat tetap dari Afrika Timur yang terbang melintasi India untuk ke Asia Tenggara dan Australia.

The water levels at Knuckey Lagoon were quite low, but apparently just right for the several Egrets that were busily hunting prey.
I miss it all so much already.
The core of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, backlights one of 16 remaining semaphore blades along the Raton and Glorietta Subdivisions. The WB signal indicates a clear; however, the next train would pass through here almost 12 hours after this photo was taken: stark contrast to the traffic volumes this route used to see.

Evening and the light failing when I spotted this intermediate egret. It was already hunkered down in readiness for the cold night ahead
IMO ..from a North American perspective this bird has foraging mannerisms intermedite between a Spotted Sandpiper and a Lesser Yellowlegs
Like the Spotted in that it intermediately does the "Rump Pump"
Although comparable in size top the Solitary Sandpiper , it forages at a faster pace - more vigorously and animated than a SOSA
Rather reminiscent of its cousin the Lesser Yellowlegs
Yet it is not so frenetic and frantic as a Greater Yellowlegs' typical feeding style
i was very fortunate on this particular morning with practically continuous views for almost an hour as it foraged

Congrats Geoffrey on finding this exquisite mega rarity
i had been 0 for 3 before this outing ..
There has been more water coverage than is typical at this location, this spring season.
One of the best spots for shorebirds & ducks around Greater Victoria - early 2021..and on into the summer
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

Intermediate egret
This species looks similar to the great egret but smaller in size with neck length a little less than body length, has a slightly domed head, and a shorter and thicker bill.
Location- Jorhat, Assam, India
Here are a bunch of thin, parallel sills and a few that turn into dikes at random angles (at the left). Notice how the right area with the most intrusions is surrounded by the palest sedimentary rock which matches the pale baked zones in the big dike posted two pictures away.
Andrew Jackson Intermediate School was an intermediate school located on the east side of Detroit, Michigan which operated from 1928 to 2007. Nearly all Detroit citizen know about this school, but its history is slowly being forgotten.
Andrew Jackson Intermediate School was designed by B.C. Wetzel & Co. and was built in 1928. Detroit Urbex highlights this school as “one of Detroit's more unique schools in terms of design”. The layout is fairly typical of school buildings designed in the 1920s. The school held up a capacity of 2,200 students.
Throughout its history, Andrew Jackson Intermediate School operated as an intermediate school and a middle school for Detroit Public School. Overall the school was closed in 2007 due to low enrollment and low test scores. Today the school now sits abandoned.
The intermediates at milepost 85 are the last set of signals trains will see on Union Pacific's Harvard Sub before entering South Janesville "yard" (the east end of the yard can be seen in the distance). Janesville marks the end of the trip for most Union Pacific trains. However, the occasional grain train does venture a little further up the old main before terminating at Evansville. Beyond that, the UP is pretty much done and the rest of their track is a tree choked mess. If you could keep going, you would end up at milepost 137.4, better known as Tower MX, the location of the previous photo.
It wasn't always this way though of course. The UP Harvard Sub was thee Chicago-Twin Cities mainline putting the North Western in Chicago and North Western. This status would not last forever though. Traffic levels have seen a slow decline for decades.
Against these odds, a lot of the "North Western" still exists. However, the mainline days are clearly over. The tree choked UP track ends at around Brooklyn where the WSOR Reedsburg Sub picks up. From Brooklyn to Oregon, there's more grass than ballast, but storage moves still roam these rails on occasion. Further northwest still, at Oregon, the tracks actually see regular moves all the way to Reedsburg. It's at this point, where the final miles of "North Western" to the CMO connection at Elroy is lopped off.
The truncated section is now a bike path called "The '400' State Trail". This name has to be the ultimate irony; the trail is named after the train that got its name from the Adams Cutoff, whose completion eventually led to the demise of this part of the "North Western". Someone must be rolling in their grave...
