Fluidr / "Common Gallinule Action!" by Stephen J Stephen

I was photographing a Common Gallinule perched on a water channel dam when a second bird swam up. In seconds a fight broke out. I wasn't expecting anything and just managed to capture this image as the first bird nearly left the top left of my camera frame.

There was a third bird in the water nearby which I assume was the mate of bird 2. Bird 2 continued to chase bird 1 along the waterway fro quite a distance.

Image created on Feb 8, 2020 in Naples, Florida, United States.Cropped from composition.
