Description
Boy did this poor Great Egret get more than he bargained for when he decided to cross the Gulfport Beach Least Tern Breeding Area to get to his fishing spot. He was gliding low behind a dune, so I did not have a clue what was happening until the birds abruptly flushed from the beach. The Least Terns were the first to react, aggressively chasing him and trying to poop on him. How the Least Tern shows his displeasure, this is his primary defense. The poor Egret zig-zagged around only considering it a nuisance until the Black Skimmers got into the act and then he panicked as they chased him out onto Beach Boulevard where he was almost hit by an oncoming car.
