Another good image Derrick....not all photos can be 'happy' ones....amazing thing...nature...the species that 'mate for life'....'mate....and leave'...'mate then die' but I do love the species that have the inbred 'nature' to mate for life.....

Marc,

 

I cannot say for sure what is going on. I do know that the male in the nest stays with that deceased famale 90% of the time. Only leaving to feed, etc. I really do not know why the other male is tugging her feathers, but I do know that a fight between the two males ensued. I was only able to capture two shots, but the males tumbled to the ground and squabbled with each other. Forgive me Marc, for bird behavior is not a strong point of mine. Thanks for your interest.

 

Derrick
