Description
This "peaceful" dove wasn't backing down before the grackle.
The dove, all puffed up, seems to be saying, "Go ahead, knock the chip off my shoulder. I dare you!"
The grackle, to his credit, turned the other cheek and flew off.
Try a ZOOM...all the better.
Thanks for stopping by,
Bill:)

Ah it is the fifties dinner ware from camp that attracts your birds. Excellent photo!
well seen... well said!
Great moment and excellent capture. I've seen the doves chase off everybody else, too.
Fantastic shot!!
Splendid composition and colors my friend
lol gotta love these little duels our feathered friends have...excellent capture Bill!
wow, what a shot. That grackle is trying to intimidate that mourning dove! Another great crystal clear shot Bill ... excellent!
A fantastic and remarkable photo! Excellent colors. Hurray for the dove.
what a nice scene!!!! Fantastic photo!!!!!!
Great shot Mr. Bill. Dove said, in Clint Eastwood fashion, "Go ahead make my day." Bird of peace drew the line in the sand and ready for some kick butt. Excellent.
Wonderful image and narration Bill!!! I had a good giggle because I often watch similar stand offs between birds on my feeders! :)
Awesome capture bill. You keep birding and snapping shots, I'll keep looking.
as i already said the crazy-eyed bird is actually a jolly fellow! and doves aren't known as peaceful guys. Do they impale their victims or what? which is simply a perfect symbol for pacifists, who are remarkably violent here in Italy! ;D)
Awesome capture of the interaction...great work!
A fascinating shot! Wonderful moment.
I love the way she has made herself so big, glad he didn't argue with her.
Amen to that !! Truth to tell, I'm with the crazy looking guy here !! P
lol The one looks like it sure eats well! and the skinnier of the two seems to be saying mind if I get a bite? Great work.
