The mockingbirds love to pose and fight, the one in the back looks much worse for the wear, and a little rough on the wings too. The other one seems to be moving fluidly, maybe a little more confident! These two reminded me of old samurai movies, with their winds swinging through the air so much like katanas.
What I like best about the shot is the one on the bottom showing some type of defensive behavior, but doing so fluidly, look at his tail and how it balances the wing movement. This one is firmly anchored and drove off the poor intruder, who is looking rough. If you see him on large, you can see how rough he looks.
Saw this on explore this morning! Thanks everyone for looking and commenting, I sincerely appreciate it! Y'all rock!

Fight for Survival
Today is World Polar Bear Day, an annual event celebrated every February 27 to raise awareness about the conservation status of the polar bear.
Internationally, polar bears are listed as a vulnerable species by the IUCN. The primary conservation concern for polar bears is habitat loss and reduced access to their seal prey due to climate change. Scientists predict that as the Arctic continues to warm, two-thirds of the world's polar bears could disappear within this century. Research also shows that hope remains if action is taken to greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions soon.
But while most people think that global warming is the overhanging threat to polar bear survival, it is actually the continuation of unsustainable hunting pressure that is driving the species towards extinction.
More than 600 (!) bears are killed per year by humans across Canada alone, the vast majority by indigenous Inuit people, a rate calculated by scientists to be unsustainable. Lack of courage and honesty from environmental groups and politicians is allowing this scenario to continue.
Morten Joergensen has written an important book about ALL the threats polar bears are facing, and with very urgent recommendations: Polar Bears on the Edge: Heading for Extinction while Management Fails.

Taken in Lake Furen, Hokkaido Japan.
Two young steller sea eagle took a little fight.
The adult audience was watching them.
Quite many years ago, I saw these ominous clouds in the sky as if two cats were fighting! I have not altered the clouds in any way, they look like that straight from the camera! Only altered contrast, lighting and removed some lens specks.
So while I was messing around with the coloured backgrounds i thought; 'why not create the dvd cover'... so I did. Not quite the same due to physically limitations, but you get the idea..
