Sorry to say, but this is the last shot I got of the Great Egret chicks.
I was told that later in the day, a Wood Stork started attacking. Mom managed to get one chick out. When she went back for the other, it was gone.
It got it over to land, beat it some more. Walked to the water's edge and softened it up a little.
It's head went behind that small tree and when it stepped forward, the snake was already down the hatch!!
