Interesting catch. Good focus and stop action. I've watched these marsh hens for the last 4 years, but I've never seen this. Thanks!

Lance, Wondeful catch my friend. Crisp clean action. The intensity of the battle can really be understood by this shot.

Very nice...

Lets Get Ready to Rumble!

I love the action and how the female is playing it so cool. Nice light too, by the way.
