defending its patch
Lens: Viv(Tokina) 300m f5.5 Camera: K20D Photo Location: Melbourne ISO: 800 
Posted By: Cee Cee, 02-16-2012, 08:20 AM

this Willie Wagtail was not impressed when the Maggie moved in on its patch, it swooped & harassed the Magpie for several minutes until finally it moved the Maggie on - "and don't come back"

(sorry the focus is not so great on these, the Wag tails are so dam quick and learning a new lens, but I liked the sequence of shots).

Fun! The one I remember best is a red winged blackbird (6 inches) driving off a Sandhill Crane (6 feet). Great captures.

the magpie is sure a beautifully colored bird, we don't have them here in our area. Those little birds don't put up with much when it comes to territory claims. I enjoyed the series of encounter here, thanks Bob

These tell a great story. We had a mockingbird who nested on the golf course and lord help the golfer that came anywhere near that tree.
