Aggression

This was the scene shortly after the last post. The chasing cormorant caught the other one. I can't tell if it was a fight or mating. Often with birds the two behaviors start out looking pretty similar.

intimidation seems to rule at the moment, yet who knows where that may lead..locel small birds were certainly frisky today..

I'd think losing a fish might make you mad! Nice capture of the action. V

Nice capture of all this action.

If that’s mating, I’d hate to see a fight. Great shot of the action.

Whatever it is, it appears to be somewhat violent!
