This Carolina wren and White-breasted nuthatch met atop the feeder pole. It wasn’t amicable.

These two Toms were confrontational over a near-by Hen but, nothing came of it, the Tom on the left decided she was not worth a fight...

Green Arrow and Black Canary's recent investigation has attracted some unwanted attention.
The leader in the black belt is an old Ricky Steamboat wrestling figure. The ninjas are from Rambo.
The intention is to post an entire set showing the full fight on Instagram, but somehow Flickr doesn't lend itself to that (it's the one area where I don't prefer Flickr over IG).
In this fleeting moment, as so many are in street photography, I thought I saw the confrontation between the man of the past and the modern man. The latter seemed perplexed by his 'ancestor', but we could also guess that it was a defensive reflex, in the face of the prestigious status that knighthood represented. A prestige no longer attainable.

This Wood pigeon is a bully it attacks any bird who tries to feed when it's feeding from this feeder. It pecked the starlings head a few times flapped its wings at the Starling.The Starling did the same to the Wood pigeon .The Starling would not retreat,it was like watching two boxers fighting in a boxing ring.The Wood pigeon then reared up and stared down at the Starling who as you can see did the same but stared up at the Wood pigeon. It gave me five minutes of pleasure to see the brave little bird finally out stare the bigger bird who flew off and left the starling to feed in peace.

The male bluebird did not appreciate the female cardinal landing on the feeder pole.

my sister is visiting, so I had the luxury of having someone to photograph, although it was hard to get her to stop taking her own photos long enough to stand still.
Midnight Confrontation

If you were teaching elementary school kids about dinosaurs, where might you take them? One of the times I photographed here, I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled up to find a group full of kids on a field trip, with the teacher telling them about what dinosaurs were like. Dinosaur sculptures illuminated by a full moon and light from my ProtoMachines light painting device during the exposure. These enormous life-sized sculptures were created by Ricardo Breceda, Borrego Springs, CA. This may appear in a future book of night photography and history that I am working on right now. Thanks!

Confronting a giant version of yourself can be daunting. Especially when you realize it has better posture than you.
Image imagined in MidJourney AI and finished with Topaz Studio and Lightroom Classic.
The autumn color is probably at it's peak and it couldn't be a better weather weekend for enjoying it. I spent much of yesterday afternoon wandering about, adding to the 7,562 fall foliage photos I've accumulated over the years. Every year I now realize there are really only so many images of leaves one can take, but the spectacle is quite irresistible as many of you know. And today, with sun and temps predicted 20 degrees over the norm, I'll be taking more, this time from the canoe as the paddling days will be ending soon.
In any event, some of those images will follow but I thought I'd offer a real Sunday slider encountered yesterday on a path I've never taken before...one clearly already claimed by this aggressive fellow.
When I first saw him, his approximate 2.5 feet length fully stretched out, he was clearly enjoying the heat retaining sand from the sun penetrating the trees. I, of course, had to poke him to insure that he was alive, the result this perfectly symmetrical coil, better seen in the comment photo. His red, heat sensing tongue began flicking and was quite accurate in finding me as I avoided repeated strikes trying to get the camera closer. If you look larger, you can see he clearly has me sighted in this pre-strike pose. Snake eyes, indeed. He made no effort to escape or yield, and seemed quite confident of his abilities to meet any challenge presented by me.
I left him in his pose and to his own devices as I continued my own and upon my return looked for him but he was gone. Close encounters of the pleasing kind...
A day out in June photographing Common Kestrels. I had 2 adult and 3 young Kestrels show up.
Two Kestrels react as they meet on the post.
The Common Kestrel is a relatively small bird of prey reaching 32-35cm in length with a wing span measuring up to 80cm. In the UK, it is usually just referred to as the Kestrel, as it is the only Kestrel species found in the UK. It is also known as the Windhover.
The Kestrel is the second most numerous bird of prey in the UK after the Buzzard, and is a familiar sight hovering beside roads and motorways or the edges of woodland as it searches for prey.
