Two Against Two

[Joe Senzatimore]

Terns and Oyster Catchers are fighting over nest sites. I guess they don't realize that the Skimmers will kill any chick that hatches in THEIR space, As was seen last year.
Nice morning at Nickerson with George.

Cropped to vert. to eliminate some distractions.

Nice action Joe.. The blue blob by the in flight tern is a distraction.. What's there ??

[Fabs Forns]

Wow, what a fight! Agree on the blue on top being distracting. If you have VIveza, select that color and de-saturate.

There's a faint halo on top of the OC to the left. Very cool behavioral image.

[Gus Cobos]

I like the composition and the inter action displayed...agree on the blue OOF from outer space...:eek::D:p:cool:

[Joe Senzatimore]

Don't know what that blue spot is. It's not from anything I did in post as I never touched that area. Just cleaned up a fer blades of grass in post and cropped.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Love all the action in this image Joe. and It certainly has quite a story to tell. Agree about the blue. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Great behavior image. Are these birds in skimmer territory?
