While photo graphing Canada geese on Saturday I caught these guys having a disagreement, they were quite a ways off so forgive the heavy handed crops here, I wanted to share these behavior shots with you guys, they reminded me of one of those Chinese martial arts movies :D

    Thanks for looking Art, the scrap lasted about 3 mins with a lot of territorial running around after, snowies are notorious for this type of behavior

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
