The odd couple

For the last couple weeks this Snowy Egret and Neotropic Cormorant have been best buddies. They’re always together. They stand on the bank together. If one naps, they both nap. One goes fishing, they both go fishing.



The cormorant swims underwater right next to the bank, chasing fish. The egret runs alongside, snatching up scattering minnows.


The cormorant is so fast, sometimes he gets ahead, but the egret runs to catch up.


They’re an odd couple, but it works.
