I was amused to see a scene unfold at Lake Runnemede today. A Great Egret
was fishing along the shore when it spied 2 Common Mergansers rapidly
diving and fishing nearby. It immediately flew over to them and watched
intently, presumably to snatch or catch a fish from them. No luck- they
quickly swam away.
