Bird Photo Competition 5 2015 : Entry Number 88

Coots spend much of their time squabbling and fighting, but the action is difficult to photograph. This well-timed action shot captures their aggressive behavior perfectly.

Thank you kindly for the Mark of Excellence! My name is Fraida Gutovich and I spend a lot of time watching birds and observing their behaviors and patterns. I use a Nikon D7100 with the Nikkor 70-300 telephoto for all my bird and wildlife shots. Thank you again for the recognition.....it is much appreciated!
