The Toms of Twisp
I posted this elsewhere on the forum, where we're required to keep it under 800 pixels. I was told I could post this image here at a slightly larger size, so here's the larger version:
Taken here in Washington last spring in the Methow, near the Twisp River.
These toms were fighting, or perhaps mock fighting. It was just alot of pushing and shoving, each trying to get the advantage of leverage by getting as firm a hold as possible on the other's beak/head. This went on for quite some time, but they got a bit nervous about me being there, and gradually moved away, back in to the trees.
