Ardea alba
Juveniles look like non-breeding adults. Nestlings compete fiercely with each other, and dominant chicks sometimes end up stabbing the youngest siblings to death. The chicks also threaten and attack intruders.
Lake Martin Bird Sanctuary is located in southwest Louisiana near Breaux Bridge. This is a large rookery.
