For whatever reason, Snowy Egrets have a tendency to fight frequently. This image was taken in a small wetlands near Carlsbad, CA. There were about 20 Snowys gathered here apparently for some trapped fish in this area at low tide. These two spent far more time fighting than fishing. This was my first day with my, then new, Canon R5.

First day with a new camera and you came away with a great shot! Striking image of the Snowys “fighting”.
