Tree Swallows Battle

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge - Lipsec, Delaware
April 2nd, 2017
All throughout Bombay, they have these bird boxes setup for the local song birds to set up nest for raising their young. On this day, I came upon this bird box and two mating pairs of Tree Swallows squabbling over whose house it belong to. This went on for quite a while with them squabbling, chirping, fighting midair and generally letting each other know they need to move on. It was quite entertaining. This was my favorite capture of the series that shows how much attitude was being displayed by each mating pair.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
