One of the most spectacular shots I've ever seen!Two Goldfinches having a bit of a tussle today
Yes, a territorial dispute, seldom resulting in either bird suffering any injuries... a dominant display more than anything.

Amazing photo, -Oy-. What a coincidence, I saw two gulls scrapping on a warehouse roof today. It was like kids in the school playground, all the other gulls gathered around to watch. In my mind I thought: "Fight, fight." This is an internet picture, so similar to the one that I saw.
OK. How about they are fighting over a female for mating..... although it's probably kind of early????
Oh yes, they indeed do that!OK. How about they are fighting over a female for mating..... although it's probably kind of early????
We are treated every spring with the territorial behaviour and often spats between male Dark-Eyed Juncos.
