GBH Cage Match

Let’s get ready to ker-FUFFFFF-fle!

Time for the GBH cage match!

Plenty of GBH on Graveyard Pond this past Saturday, in addition to the lovely Great Egrets. On the end of the pond by the canoe rental place, two GBH flew in simultaneously for landing on the same piece of floating board/wood. Enter the cage match!

(The Nikon D7500 wasn’t perfect in focusing fast enough for this amazing-to-see event, but the following shots fall into the “good enough” category, for this website at least.)

[Editor’s note: “… this website…”???]

GBH landing, Graveyard Pond, Presque Isle State Park
Crouching tiger, hidden dragon
Heron fisticuffs I
Heron fisticuffs II
Hoppin’ mad
Run away!
Settling down on my floating board
Very satisfied with myself
Relegated to the kiddie table

[Editor’s Note: “Cage match” is an obviously gratuitous characterization of a normal, if confrontational, interaction between two Great Blue Herons. #Nature. Apologies for the copious/goofy anthropomorphism.]
