I heard a ruckus on the other side of the lake so I followed the sound. I found these two battling it out for a prized perch.
All feedback is very much appreciated! Ry

Cool action Ry. I love their threatening poses. I would like to see all of both birds if you got any that were backed up just a bit too.

Nice job getting both birds crisp, Ry. Exposure looks good and I love the action. It's hard to remember when something like this is happening, but zooming out a bit to bet all of the birds in the frame would have added just the right finishing touch to this.
