Title: Wilmington nestbox: A fight erupts Post by: Donna on 16-Mar-10, 07:37:41 AM http://www.dosbirds.org/image/tid/7 (http://www.dosbirds.org/image/tid/7)
High Drama These photos were captured on March 15th. They depict a confrontation between two falcons in the nestbox which lasted about an hour. It seems the intruder was finally driven out, but this may not be the end of it... I don't like these fights for rights. 14 pics when you click the link Title: Re: Wilmington nestbox: A fight erupts Post by: valhalla on 16-Mar-10, 07:46:12 AM I don't like the fights, but it was a fascinating pictorial capture. Just a guess, but I don't think either bird was going for the kill because 3 images clearly showed opportunity.

Boy they like to pin each other down and expose that chest area. Sad.

It took several minutes. None of the falcons had to die. |
