Snowy Egret, St. Augustine Alligator Farm wild bird rookery, Florida

The Snowy Egrets at the St Augustine Alligator Farm wild bird rookery are in full breeding plumage and full breeding mode. This male is coming into a nest. I think he might have spotted an intruder…likely a Cattle Egret or another Snowy, and was making his presence known to try to dive the intruder off, so he could reclaim the nest. Fighting mad and dancing on air! Sony RX10iv at 442mm. Program mode with birds in flight modifications. 1/1000th @ f5 @ ISO 125. Processed in Polarr and assembled in FrameMagic.
