What a fun behavior/action image. These type images aren't easy to capture and you did well to get both in focus and close enough to one another to make it work. I esp. like the open beak on that ticked off kiskadee.

[Tim Foltz]

Nice behavioral shot, a bit over saturated and would like to see more space in front of the bird.

excellent interaction captured here, good exposure and colors. There are some sharpening halos around both birds.

A fine shot indeed, the colours are a little saturated for me but well caught.

This one really rocks. The action is great and so is the kiskadee! I agree with toning it down just a bit.
