In Your Face Battles!

Battles happening in the blink of an eye.  When I watch this feeder with the naked eye, all I see is little pine siskins eating and hopping and repositioning.  Occasionally a flutter or two goes on long enough for me to notice, but never appears to be too aggressive.  Then, I spend some time observing from behind the camera lens... Wow!  It's just constant, fraction-of-a-second battles going on!  These are tiny, fierce little birds!  Paging through a series of images of them proves to be quite entertaining! :)

The image works best in 'large', due to the portrait view.
