Duck Fight...

[Joseph Przybyla]

This was captured last year, I worked on it today. A group of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks were swimming and feeding in a small pool of water. When newcomers arrived and joined the group two of the males would fight, biting and clawing at each other. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Great action here. The splashing water is another bonus. The closer bird looks sharper then the one facing you.
