Dove fight!

These two doves were having a disagreement about who owned the feeder.

Bad guy kicks rival.

Then bites it's butt.

Trois. What setting do you have your camera on to catch in flight like that without blurring the wings? Great pics. BEV

Troy, I love your photography and the eyes for wonderful nature beauty.

Very nice! GM

dragonfly62, I use 1/500 second and a front fill flash. ISO set to 100. Distance camera to subject, 5 feet.

Thanks everyone.

Beautiful pics trois!

Thanks, pelle.

Beautiful as always..I've never seen Doves fight!

trois -- thanks for the tips too

You are welcome. Also, If you can elevate the camera well above the feeder it will give you greater depth of focus.

Trois, My birds fly away if I get that close so I shoot them I mean take the pics out my dinneing room window. BEV

And all this time I thought Doves were peaceful birds. ;>) Nice caption Trois.

I take mine sitting at my computer in the house, watching the feeder with a security camera and using a remote control for the camera. They see no people.

burn_2007, they fight a lot, and thanks. When there are people about they act differently.
