I'm not sure what kind of birds these juveniles are, seen at the Detroit Zoo last month, but the little one here seemed mighty feisty and was picking lots of fights.

One of the most popular areas of Toronto are City Hall and the adjoining, Nathan Philips Square: Both vying for the attention of tourists.
Some people like the City Hall, while others provide arch support ;)
Great Egrets - under Mom's legs - fighting over a bit of food
From Cornell:
Not all young that hatch survive the nestling period. Aggression among nestlings is common and large chicks frequently kill their smaller siblings. This behavior, known as siblicide, is not uncommon among birds such as hawks, owls, and herons, and is often a result of poor breeding conditions in a given year.
These two moose calves looked they are were having a silent disagreement about something. But in the end no hooves were thrown, so all is well :)
On the pond in the Aberford park you can see young swans who learn to fly. But they do not fly so much as run on the water, flapping their wings and scaring geese on its way...
Thank you all, dear friends. for visits, faves and comments!
I watched these two black skimmer chicks battle it out a number of times and the parents even tried to intervene by trying to separate them :-)!

These two young starlings suddenly appeared on this twiggy branch and stayed still long enough to get a shot . It is a case of Sibling Rivalry or maybe teamwork by each bird on alert watching in opposite directions .
Yesterday, thanks to a kind invite from Ian I was able to get out with my camera for the first time in two and a half weeks. The destination was Ian's hide made for a great few hours.
The problem I had though was that I have had an issue with my Sony and had to send it away for repair. Alas it is now due back on Wednesday which was too late for yesterdays trip. The result was that I had to resort to using my old Canon. Ok, I had to re-familiarise myself with the camera but worse still was the fact that the maximum zoom I had available was 105mm which is far from ideal when trying to take bird photographs.
My first upload is therefore a scene rather than a portrait. Yes it has been cropped far too much but it does show the interaction between these two robins. To emphasise the birds I have greyed out the background.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to get myself out Ian.
From my last trip to The Isle of Mull.

quite a scene at breakfast, dad dropped off a perch and the three kids got into a brawl. eventually one stole the fish and flew away to eat it by herself.
Mendip House (left) and Pennine House (right) are two of the three 25-storey tower blocks that form the Edmonton Green Estate. (The third, out of shot, is Grampian House.) They were completed in 1972.
