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. 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. More for the bird... Seahag |
