This shot was my 'gift' a the end of one-hour of literally seeing nothing but a few Seagulls at Rattray Marsh last weekend. The bird on the left was 'moved up a bit as his wing was covering / partially covering the branch / perch as he 'jumped off' into flight.

Anyone know if this is an Eastern Kingbird? (my guess)

I was trying out a Nikon D70, as I have been shooting Canon of late. I hope you like it! :)

Jeff, this is just great. I might try a crop with the bottom cropped up to where the branch meets the left edge.

Jeff, very nice silhouette and composition. I like Alan’s suggestion of cropping a bit of the bottom.

I really like this -- very good forethought in capturing the pair against the light.

Marvelous interpretation Jeff, it's lovely :!:

Looks like an Eastern Kingbird attacking a Blackbird in it's territory. When defending territory Kingbirds are quite aggressive.
