20160512 4935 SERIES - Virginia Rail.jpg

Ottawa West

BATTLE ROYALE!

Four images of two Virginia Rails battling it out. Perhaps a territorial dispute or maybe a Love-triangle???

Not the best pictures as there always seemed to be reeds in the way of the action. I was pretty much oblivious to the Rails during their battle. In the end, the looser scurried away.

Say "UNCLE", or else!

Nikon NIKON D7200,Nikon 200 - 500mm 1:5.6 ED
1/1600s f/8.0 at 270.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
