*************************************************
Great Egret in the back ground.
*****************************************
Get out of my pond, I'm bigger than you.
***********************************************
That's more like it.
*************************************************
Some times it pays to bluff.
************************************
*******************************
Will you stop messin with your feathers, I need some help.
*******************************************************
*******************************************************
O'know not him again, I thought I told you to get lost bud.
*******************************************************
I guess it knows by now who's the pond boss.
******************************************
Don't stop there just keep on walking bud.
***************************************************
That other Cormorant is sure a lazy one, it won't help one bit.
*********************************************
Hey over there stop messin with your feathers and help scar off these other birds.

***********************************************
I'm the biggest, baddest in the pond so you all had better stay away.
*********************************************************

*******************************************
Scat, get away this is our spot.
***********************************************
And tell all of your friends not to come around while we are here.
