This Snowy Egret put on quite a show for us at J.N.Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
He displayed fiercely, as shown in the picture, every time another of the twenty egrets came near him, and chased the interloper off of "his spot" on the black rocks. When no other bird came near, he would chase and challenge the nearest bird, even the larger Great Egrets. Mating/nesting season must have been getting close, and he was claiming territory.

Faintest hint of people's heads can be seen just over the tops as they wandered in bemused wonderment among the tulips. Photographed at the Holland, Michigan, Tulip Festival.
