    Default The Chase

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Was waist deep in water attempting to capture the Magnificent Frigatebirds banking, when I saw this juvi chasing a juvi Brown Pelican in the distance. He just about caught up and tried to nip him. It was fun to watch. These 2 species seem to torture each other quite a bit. Despite this, the pelicans will nest where the Mag Frigates roost.

    C & C always welcomed and much appreciated.

    Marina, love the tailgater shot! It is a treat to see these two large species in flight together for comparision. Nice details and sharpness- well done!

    Agree on amy as this is really a great image showing size comparison on both species.
    I liked the quality of an image as well.

    One might quibble about the HA and shadows, but you've captured a great bit of behavior. Definitely a keeper.

    Great light on that frigate bird. I have yet to get a nice shot of one that's nice and lit. I like the chase as well.

    Pretty wild shot.
    Sharp as can be on both birds (which is not easy) nice poses on both birds and
    Just a nice action photo.
