I was out taking macros of roses yesterday, and happened to notice a small bit of movement on the fence. Turned out to be 2 anoles fighting. Needless to say, I stopped taking flower pics and took lizard pics for about 15 mins while they fought. I got some really good ones.
Hope you like it. (I will likely share more)

The birds in my garden are wild and shy, and would often flee in paranoia, only to return minutes later. I captured this unique version of the ongoing battle between the smaller birds.
Hope you will enjoy this photo.
All of the best !
Canadian National local train No. 513 passes a mountain lake at Henry House, Alberta, at 8:29 p.m. on July 11, 2014. The Hinton to Jasper (and return) local is powered by vintage pair of aging GMD’s—SD40-2W No. 5246 and SD40u No. 6011 —battle-worn, but still hauling plenty of tonnage on CN’s main line through scenic Jasper National Park.
This Killdeer was attacking this calf which was apparently grazing to close to its nest.
It first tried the old "Broken wing routine, but that did not seem to work, so the Killdeer started to actually attacking the calf, hitting it several times in the face by flying into it, all the time making a loud objection. The calf paid no attention and just kept grazing. This lasted for several minutes until apparently the calf got far enough away, and the one sided battle stopped!
This little bird has got all kind of spunk. Thumbs up to this little one!

With the rut underway, this buck shows some evidence of his battles, with the one antler tine snapped off and another short tine looking broken.

I listened to this song www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFyCSDzn2Q0 on my iPhone while riding Pete yesterday and my day was better
I spotted this battle between a wasp and a hoverfly in my garden yesterday - the wasp won. Wasps are just as important pollinators as bees and hoverflies, so please no calls for death to all wasps - HSS!

Last week we had some nice low fog in the fields near my house. I shoot this early one morning as the sun was coming up. Hope you all had a great weekend. We have had company here for a couple weeks now and hopefully things will return to a more normal schedule soon!! If you look really hard in the distance you can see Mount Hood.
Cheers

New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
It is that time of the year when the Honeyeaters and Wattlebirds are vying for nesting locations in our garden. This one was watching the battle for one particular spot from the line that brings the power into our house.

Blue Ridge Southern T31 winds upgrade nearing Canton, North Carolina in notch eight with a heavy train in tow.
This red admiral was on high alert today, chasing away all invaders to his territory in our garden.
After each energetic aerial battle he'd return to his perch high above the ground (twine surrounding our chicken area) to wait for the next interloper. Thrilling stuff!
Roaring EMD prime movers fill the air as J783-29 hits the top of Botkins Hill and passes the signals at walking speed on a freezing January morning. The 0.63% climb that separates the Ohio River and Lake Erie watersheds sometimes poses a formidable challenge for heavy southbound trains, and this day is no exception as over 10,000 tons of local traffic heads for Cincinnati
In Morpho peleides, a scenario with two males and one female often triggers an intense aerial chase. While it looks like a direct "battle" between the males for the female, research suggests males are often engaged in confused, optimistic pursuits where each male mistakes the other for a receptive mate or vies for position before chemical and visual cues clarify the interaction.Normal courtship involves a male chasing the female in a distinct circular or fluttering flight pattern.When a second male arrives, he is visually drawn to the bright blue movement, leading to chaotic aerial dogfights or parallel chasing rather than an organized duel.Close-range chemical signals (pheromones) eventually help sort out sex recognition, leading one male to break off or get ousted from the area.Once a male successfully wins access and mates, copulation can span an exceptionally long time, ranging from several hours to multiple days.(Wikipedia)

Shot at Van Vihar National Park, Bhopal. Territorial battle between Golden Eagle and Wooly Necked Stork.
When I went to the place, I heard loud bird calls from Coromonts on a tree. I realised a huge Golden Eagle was sitting on the tree. I thought it was there to hunt. So I waited some time for it to catch a meal and maybe I will get a shot. Turns out there was a stork that was stalking the eagle as it jumped from branch to branch.
It was Storks area and eagle was trying to take over. I waited for few hours as eagle took its time to make a move. It happens in bursts and neither of the two are in hurry to attack as it can be fatal.
Unfortunately action when started happened at some distance and so none of the shots in sequence turned out to be sharp.
So I thought it would be a candidate for my worst shot of the year Flickr group.

Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone!
A big bull elk in Rocky Mountain National Park, associating with two other bulls. The divots in his fur, evident on both flanks, may be battle scars. One of the other bulls had the tines broken off his antlers, while the third bull appeared unscathed.
The antlers will drop off soon, and new antlers will start growing in spring. These guys have some time to get back in shape and to think about battle strategy.
Every loaded train from the pit at Sandaoling faces an uphill battle against grades greater than 2%. The JS-class locomotives in charge of this task are rated at around 2000hp and were built between 1981 and 1987, needless to say the battle is quite real.
