Jersey Shore: Egregious Behavior

This is the first of several posts showing photographs from our recent vacation to Wildwood and Cape May, New Jersey.

While looking for Red Knots at Cook’s Beach, on the bayshore north of Cape May, we observed the following scene involving a female Snowy Egret, a male who attempted to court her, and another male who objected to the first male’s advances. The dialogue is an interpretation by yours truly.

"Hey, baby, I like the way you wiggle your toes when you fish. You come here often?"

"Where you goin', baby? I just want to squawk."

"So, uh, I like your shoes, baby. Wanna copulate?"

"Baby?"

"Um, I'm sort of seeing someone already..."
"Look, if you don't like me, you can just say so. Don't make up some story about a boyfriend."

"Hi Frank!"

"Get out of my house!"

"Fine, whatever. I need to go see what Snookie's up to, anyway."
