These are both fabulous shots. Perfect angle, great exposure, you really captured the drama. Very nice.

Thank you for the kindly compliment EB.
Those Egrets sure play rough. Happy trails.

Incredibly nice shots of this aggressive behavior of the snowy egrets, Paul! I really enjoy these two shots.

Wonderful capture of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, steve! Truly delightful!

Very attractive shot, Jose!

This is quite an attractive shot, Dontcry4mejanhrdina! Very nice photography!

Thanks Mike, greatly appreciated.
Those Egrets sure were territorial that morning. Happy trails.

I had to wait quite a while in the cold for this Snowy to take off and start hunting but it was well worth the wait and cold hands.

Great shot! They are definitely worth the cold and the wait.

I recently witnessed this fight between two Kestrels, their claws locked together until they hit the ground. I'm not sure if either bird was injured but they flew off in opposite directions. I'd have liked to have been closer to the action but this image is a 100% crop from 700mm taken from the opposite side of a lake:
