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.

Yes indeed.... It's that time of year again. My goslings have hatched and are in full form!! :-))

Absolutely too adorable!!

Some people like the City Hall, while others provide arch support ;)

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 :)

I honestly don't know what I'm doing anymore. I was just playing and it ended up quite abstracted.

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 :-)!

Improved contrast and saturation.

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.

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.

Managed to witness a tiff between these two vixens. They look like they could be siblings but of course its hard to know for sure but the confrontation was very short lived with no injuries and each then calmly went their own way.
