Parasitic Jaeger

[Glenn Bartley]

These guys are such cool birds! This one was particularly fiesty and it would chase off anything that came near its pond. A pair of Northern Pintails tried to stop in for a rest and this guy made them pay!!

Beautiful shot! I love how sharp the bird is and the background is perfect

That's an amazing shot. Excellent dof and the tail feathers are almost perfectly pointed back. Very nice work.
