This tree swallow is fighting off a house sparrow that is trying to steal its nest box.  There is what I think is another tree swallow poking its head out of the box observing the fight. 5D4 with 100-400 @ 400. 1/2000 sec F6.3 ISO 1600.

Great job of catching and freezing the midair action, Ed. Love the swallow sticking its head out of the box. A wonderful behavioral photograph.
