I report an observation of an adult Pacific Reef Egret (Egretta sacra) killing an adult conspecific at One Tree Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The motivation and context for the killing were not apparent. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first report of intraspecific killing in Pacific Reef Egrets. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 120(2), p. 422-424 | Publisher: | Wilson Ornithological Society | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1938-5447 1559-4491 |
