We had a Egret out in the front yard ,they are so pretty. I started
pecking at the ground
then up came its head and a snake slinging in the air. The fight was on.
Its head was shaking the snake,
the snake wound itself around its beak all the way up. It took about 5
min of this slinging and shaking and winding around its beak. finally the
Egret figured out if it could bite the head off the snake the rest would
slither down. And sure enough to our surprise the snake slithered down.
Amazed and grossed out all at the same time. Crazy birds.

www.sailirc.net,
Did you ever see the semi-tame egreat at John's Pass that foes from table
to table speaing french dries...?

No but we were at a outside restaurant by pier in Clearwater and one kept
trying to steal food on
the customers plates. The manager kept coming out yelling and waving his
arms trying to scare it off
and asking people not to feed the birds. I think their beautiful and being
that close to them is awesome.

Than restaurant is now bought out by a new owner and the food stinks now so
we don't go there anymore.
