I have photographed a similar encounter except the Egret tried to steal the fish from a Cormorant who simply dived under water and disappeared leaving the potential hijacker asking, "which way did he go?"
Those egrets follow our cormorants (who often group fish together, herding the fish in front of the group), and try to steal their catch! You are right though, they aren’t successful too often!
Thank you for your comment!

Two snowy egrets arguing over a fish. One very determined to hold onto the prize, the other determined to get near it! Shot in the Goleta Beach slough.....the action was fast and the challenger finally gave up! Using the Sony RX10, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/3200, handheld.
Awesome series and very beautiful birds
