Hey, That’s my Fish!

“Listen here, you egret. Hey, that’s my fish and you can’t have it! said the Gray Heron. You are just a common white egret while I, on the other hand, am a gray heron.

A quibble over a fish dinner between a white egret and a gray heron. This scene was captured at Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve.

  1. Good photos of both species of Ardea– alba and cinerea

    1. Thanks! Please help me, a non-birder, with one question. Is Ardea the name of the species and alba is white and cinerea is white?

  2. Lovely shots. I enjoyed the commentary as well! I wonder who won the quibble.

    1. Thanks! The blue heron had to catch his own fish. Poor guy. 😉

  3. Both lovely! Rest assured, they don’t have to share it with me! 😅

    1. I feel the same way! I am not much of a fish person. 😉

    2. Hey, Donna. I just realized that I called this a blue heron when it is not! Thanks for not busting me out. I have fixed it on my post. 🤪

      1. I don’t know world herons, lol. just North American pretty much! 🙂

  4. Great shots of the two big birds, Pepper! I wonder who got the prize?

    1. Thanks, Terri. The egret swallowed it whole and seemed to enjoy it. 😉

Thoughtful words accomplish much.
