Starlings often flock together on lawns foraging for small insects and seem to get along with each other very well. Then they really show their togetherness when they fly by the hundreds or even thousands in what are called murmurations, swooping back and forth in amazing patterns of collective agility. But get two of them at a feeder and they will go at each other like real enemies, much like the two pictured in our backyard a few days ago. With their dark, iridescent plumage and long, pointed bills, they make for an intimidating presence.

This is a great and unique picture. I would submit it to some bird photography contest.
