flicker fight
There were many flickers feeding in an grassy area at the Sugar Grove Nature Center, when I noticed these two having a disagreement over whose space it was. I only had a 300mm lens with me and was some distance from the birds. I apologize for the quality of the photo, but I thought the position of the birds, with their heads sort of tucked down, interesting.

Thank you for sharing this, it must have been hard to hold the camera still with all the excitement of being blessed with this interaction. Wonderful shot, as any of us who attempt to capture birds in-flight, can attest.
