Double-crested Cormorants were calmly sunning on the Spoonie Tree when a Great Egret dropped in.

Then a Black-crowned Night-heron joined the gathering.

It was close to a crash landing, but the Night-heron made it, perhaps to the surprise of the Cormorant.

Then the Night-heron lost points for not sticking the landing. Not that anyone is keeping score.
