Timing in photography can make a huge difference in the appeal or action captured.
I was fortunate to capture this ducks behavior at the right time as it seemed to be responding in a less than friendly manner to the other duck nearby! - I love the other duck's indifference to the verbal attack too!!! :-)
I'm sure we could relate to this kind of behavior and probably substitute the ducks for people!! :-)
Hope you like it!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - greatly appreciated!!
Have a tremendous day and week folks!

Definitely content over quality, but I thought it was interesting to document this behavior.

"Studies have linked violent behavior to the game, saying it promotes Satanic worship. Ritual sacrifice, suicide and even murder! We're the freaks because we like to play a fantasy game! But as long as you're into band or science or partiiieeesss...or a game where you toss balls into laundry baskets! Forced conformity, that's what's killing the kids. That's the real monster."

In behavioral terms, the old woman pushing an empty stroller
is not mourning but repeating —
a learned rhythm of movement,
once rewarded by presence,
However,
the truth is that it is most likely rheumatism.

YELLOW-TAILED ORIOLE. Icterus mesomelas. One Yellow-tailed Oriole male is diving from a wire toward a second male perched on a banana leaf at 10:54 AM on Oct. 13, 2014 at the edge of a wooded slope in Mindo, Ecuador at 10:55 AM on October 13, 2014.
These two male Yellow-tailed Orioles have been displaying agonistic (aggressive) behavior to each other in the presence of a female. This behavior has consisted of visual displays accompanied by acoustic signals. These behaviors were observed continuously over a period of 30 minutes and may have been of a longer duration both before they moved close to me and after they moved off into a steep, inaccessible wooded area. The behaviors consisted solely of visual and acoustic displays; physical combat was not observed. The two males were observed in close proximity on wires and they also displayed on the leaves of a banana plant below the wires. During much of this period of male displays, the female remained a medium distance away although at a later stage all three birds were briefly observed in close proximity.
The Yellow-tailed Oriole has a very extensive geographical distribution in the Neotropics and occurs from southeastern Mexico through Central America to Colombia, northwestern Venezuela, Ecuador and northwestern Perú.
The Yellow-tailed Oriole is a member of the avian family Icteridae and bears the local common name Chiroca in Ecuador.
Un macho del Bolsero Coliamarillo Icterus mesomelas está bajando en picado de un alambre hacia otro macho posado en una hoja de banana en Mindo, Ecuador a las 10:55 de la mañana el 13 de octubre de 2014. Los dos machos estaban haciendo despliegues agonísticos por media hora o más.

Calypte anna female,
Oso Flaco Natural Area,
San Luis Obispo Co., California
And it's possible that the hummer was scratching its front with its foot.
So happy to see the return of the wooducks. So beautiful in their color and markings that they almost to beautiful to be real. There were two males and one female and perhaps more will come but that was all that we saw and we were thrilled to see them. One looked like a young male and perhaps was learning a few lessons from Dad !!!
Wishing you all a blessed and lovely evening !!
Common Redstart...chirping, singing, calling at a pitch far louder than one would expect considering it's size.
A short eared owl scans the fields looking for something.
There is something about the way his body curves under those feathers that is interesting here. I don't think I have seen an owl shaped like that before.

Antagonistic Behavior of Noisy Miner
Noisy miner is one of the most aggressive of the honeyeaters. Much of the activity within a noisy miner colony is antagonistic with chasing, pecking, fighting, scolding, and mobbing occurring frequently throughout the day. The birds unite to attack predators and to defend the colony area against all other species of birds; however the species is also highly aggressive intraspecifically.
There were lots of White-Crowned Sparrows on the WSU campus today. This particular sparrow, and I believe it probably was a female based on behavior, was just sitting on a branch making chirping noises. Another one flew into the tree and it suddenly changed its posture and started fluttering its wings, bill open, like it was begging. Then both the sparrows flew into the bushes below (they did get a room), so I did not see what ensued.
Most bumblebees are social insects, forming a colony with one queen; female bumblebees can sting repeatedly – and have aposematic (warning) coloration like contrasting bands of color – but in general ignore humans and other animals

Hope you enjoy this 14% of 85 captures I took here this day!
To add to the pool of images from the rare sighting of Least Bitterns in SLO County, here are some images from a fun exchange this morning. First, I was shown exactly where the 3 little ones were in the reeds; Second, a Green Heron flies over very close to them; finally the Dad flies over and feeds two of the chicks, with odds looking like the closet chick was going to get the fish, but its persistent sibling behind was the victor this time.
This group of young squirrels have played and posed for me for a few days in a row barely noticing that I am near. Near Aspendell, California in the Eastern Sierra.
Just having a little fun focusing on details and moving around sections of Remedios Varo's painting Memesis.
It's interesting to watch birds preen. Here a hooded merganser drake is grooming his feathers, oiling them up a little for waterproofing and providing care. They use their beak and feet like most birds to perform this activity.

The widest focal length I had at my disposal for a long time was 18mm, but that changed when I acquired a used Nikon Z6 and the incredible 14-24 f2.8 lens recently. Unlike telephotos, at wide focal lengths, a slight change in focal length dramatically affects the lens's behavior. It also means you have to think about framing the scene more. The 24-70mm lens is a lot more forgiving in that regard. My challenge was that I did not have any other Z lens or the adapter at hand to convert my DSLR lenses.
I have always found that my best images often are a product of some kind of constraint, and it was no different this time when I found myself at convict lake on a freezing morning. The wind made me think twice about getting out of the car. But, finally, the warm glow on the mountain top and the frozen-over lake won over, and I got out with my new toys at hand. Since it was so cold, I limited the gear I took with me and ventured out with just the Z6 and the 14-24. Again, I was surprised by how well the mirrorless system responded to handheld shooting, even in low light conditions. The freedom to shoot without a tripod allowed me to get closer than I usually would, and the results were better than I had ever expected.
Oh my goodness! Once in a lifetime?
The Monarch was actually "napping" -- sat for almost 10 minutes (or more) with wings folded. The only time it stirred was when some little critters like bees and smaller butterflies came too close -- almost dive bombing . I took soooo many shots trying to catch the action and then THIS! Fortunately, the Little Skipper was on the same focal plane so both butterflies are in focus. Yes, I was excited!

Aulacorhynchus albivitta
(Southern Emerald toucanet / Tucancito Esmeralda)
The male (right) collected the plantain in his beak and then presented it to the female (left) who has just received the present.
Like other toucans, the Southern Emerald Toucanet is brightly marked and has a large bill. The adult is 30–35 cm (12–14 in) long. The sexes are alike in appearance, although the female generally is smaller and slightly shorter-billed.
The Emerald Toucanet is a generally common in humid forest and woodland, mainly at higher elevations.
