Even the little guys sometimes get violent

These two yellow rumped had a short but vicious confrontation. Several of these birds were getting sips from a small pond I visit regularly when these two got into it. They both flew their seperate ways afterwards.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Brutal. Hopefully the little one got out of there without drowning!

They both flew away, so there seemed to be no life-threatening injuries.
