Trumpeter swan: We are the rulers of this pond!
Blue heron: Yeah, whatever dude. I’ll go walk over here.
This was right before the heron tried to muscle some ducks out of the way (they did not take kindly to it and stood their ground) and before the swans chased off a flock of geese. There was a lot of wing flapping and honking but it ended quickly with the swans victorious.
Here’s to you having an enjoyable and scuffle free weekend – Teri

Cheers to the victor ☺️ The body language of both the swan and the heron shows the results of the battle without needing a word, great photograph!!!
The swan was boastful the heron was just wanting to be left alone 🙂
Awesome capture and narrative! Happy weekend to you!
Thank you and happy weekend to you too!
You for a double on this one. Great capture. You worked fast.
Thanks and I think the swans might be a bit used to me. I sat on the hill and slowly inched my way down.
