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:)

well caught confrontation.
Great action shot and display of natural behavior, Bill! It's like he's saying "do you feel lucky, punk... well, do ya???" Catching behavior like this is what it's all about, well done!
Pistols at dawn eh!!! No just an early morning meeting. Great to get them both together. A beautiful capture.
An eye to eye confrontation, and the other side blinked. Super POV, colors, lighting and textures in this one, Bill! The grackle looks almost cartoonish.
Oooohh... Peyton Place on the deck railing! Nice capture.
