I can't decide which one is my favorite cute bird, the Scarlett Tanager or the Indigo Bunting. I think today the Bunting was trying to score extra point. I never knew he forages close to the ground by the river... I only met him on the tree top singing before... :P :P (Once at my feeder of course).

Because the river bank is usually occupied by the Gold Finches, the drama unveils...
-
I predicted their fight, and I was in the position. Who could know it was so hard to photo a blue and a yellow bird in front of the green grass?!! :roll: :roll:
-
To be fair, the finch looks slightly smaller. That young oriole was so curious maybe at his own reflection. He knocked at my window first, then tried my door. I caught the yellow at the same location as the Bunting. Takes a look of waiting and failing. :lol: :lol:
-
Ally, that last shot of the Bunting and Finch is really special. It doesn't look like either were willing to back down.

Thank you. I was so surprised to find the Bunting there. And he was relatively at ease since I was on the other side of the river, about 3 meters away from him. It's much easier to take photos of him than the Northern Cardinal... :D :D

I really love taking pictures of 2 species in one shot and that photo series of yellow vs blue is fantastic. Beautiful, really enjoyed it. Maybe one day one of us will get male Indigo Bunting and Scarlet Tanager in one shot.

Working on it. I have a rosebreasted and an oriole on one shot. but that was at my feeder, so kind of like cheating :)

Wonderful interaction picture of the bunting and the gold filch.

Well I kinda did it. Not a great pic but I got my Tanager and Bunting in one shot.

Oh, so jealous!!

I know what you mean. Two species in the same frame is certainly attention worthy
even if they are rather ordinary bird species and even if the shot is not as well-captured
as normally desired. It occurs so infrequently that excitement ensues despite the subjects
displaying no dynamic interaction nor engaged in clever shenanigans. Of course, when that
happens it goes viral. It has made me think about the odd pairing of birds and double species
captures which I have posted:

Mallard and Scaup - OK Mal, I swear I saw a shark. So, what's the plan ... exactly.

Gray Catbird and Eastern Kingbird - The king teaches its subject how to fly catch ... ya, right.

OK, these are RARE birds indeed. One is Airfix and the other isn't. One is a bomber and the other a fighter, but they are both 1/72 scale models so at least they have that in common. I'll admit the scene has been staged. I couldn't help myself.
-
you have everything!

Yep, including 'Dublin' in the photo with Turnstone :D
