These guys were displaying to eachother like never before. Something for sure was in the air.

Jimmy was walking around trying to get something to eat...

When Fred decided to stop by for a quick chat...

Fred and Jimmy spoke for a bit and I think Jimmy convinced Fred that he wanted to eat alone today and Freddy had to leave find some other company...

Good ones.. Nice and clear..

I've never seen them interact like that. Usually they just stand around :)

Great series here with wonderful behaviour especially in the last 2. Same type of behaviour I witnessed 2 saturdays ago and this type of action was continuous for most of the morning. Looks like you were pretty close. I like every shot but the second one is special. Wish it was mine!

Wow, what a great series of shots. Hard to pick one shots, but I agree with Gary, the second shot is special.

Actually Gary, these are 50% crops or more. Just enough to get me 8x11 print of the 2nd and last photo :)

Thanx all for looking glad you guys like them.

It's piper season and you got your limit of fine shots Tom. Prefer the 3rd shot for it's action and the unknown.
