Observation details
This Snowy Egret and Glossy Ibis were so close together when I first saw them that I feared some sort of bizarre inter-species romance was transpiring. Then I realized the Snowy was essentially cadging off of the hard-working sewing-machine-like labor of the Ibis: essentially it was waiting for any frog or other creature disturbed by the movement of the Ibis to then pounce. I don't think the Ibis much cared, and I wonder how much, if at all, their diets overlap.
