Willits: York County, Maine, USA, May 2024 \u2014 I walked most of a mile in to one of the more distant beaches in York County to see if there were any Piping Plover chicks yet\u2026there were not\u2026but while I was looking, two of the many Willits in the area took sudden exception to each other\u2019s presence and engaged in this tumbling, jumping, wing flapping, beak snapping fight just over the beach grasses. I was not close, but I got the camera into action mode and shot a few bursts to see what I could catch. One of them flew off and sulked on the sands down by the river\u2019s edge, but no apparent harm was done to either bird. OM Systems OM-1Mkii with M.Zuiko 100-400IS zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds in flight and action modifications. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
