Great Egret grooming plumes...with a seagull?

From what I have observed it is a bit unusual for this Great Egret and Herring Gull to be standing on a rock this close together. The gulls sort of tag along the egrets and when they get too close the egrets fly away.

Great Egret walks on slippery rocks

The past few days have been rainy, cloudy and windy. I have not seen any egrets until this morning when this Great Egret flew in to look for food. Here he assumes the forward-leaning pose for a short time, then walks over rocks to another spot.

Great Egret standing with head on shoulder

On sunny and calm low-tide mornings Great Egrets will often just stand in the sun for a long time. This one has a very long plume on his/her back extending beyond the tail. The field mark for this large white heron is its yellow bill.

Great Egret eats healthy with seaweed and fish

A low-tide at sunrise and a very calm and warm morning make good conditions for this Great Egret to have breakfast. Here we see the Great Egret eating a healthy diet of seaweed and fish. Its laser vision and long slender yellow bill are quite effective.
