The Big Fight
 
The current champion.
 
The contender.

'Talons' Tyson    V    Beaky the Bonecrusher 

The Referee: Wally 'Wings' Walton 

 
Sizing each other up.
 
Talkin' the talk.
 
Gettin' it on.
 
The pounce.
 
Close quarters.
 
Talons Tyson can't resist biting.
 
Beaky's down but not out. He's contemplating a new career: one that would be more pleasant for this plucky pheasant.

You did it again Mike. A wounderful tabblo full of action
Moabjeeper said at 3:08 p.m. on May 13, 2009:
Great fight. Does he get a rematch?
Wildthing said at 3:14 p.m. on May 13, 2009:
SANDY: Loving is more fun than fighting. IRA: I agree. And violence usually solves nothing. SUSAN: They spend most of the time circling each other and not coming to blows. But these two had a serious fight. CELIA: Thank you. LARS: I like to catch wildlife doing more than just standing around. BOB: I think that Beaky hung up his gloves.

What beautiful work, beautiful sequence that Mike.
ConnieL said at 4:01 p.m. on May 13, 2009:
Nice photos! I suspect Beaky will try again.
Wildthing said at 4:12 p.m. on May 13, 2009:
NEUSINHA: I'm Glad you like these. CONNIE: Maybe your right. Like real boxers, they never seem to have the sense to know when to quit:)

And the 'Title' goes to Wildthing -- for another entertaining tabblo. Great action shots and I like the title with the blades of grass. You captured some wonderful poses in these pics :)
Wildthing said at 4:23 p.m. on May 13, 2009:
Thank you Sno'. Time you did another taboo:)

Superbe Mike, un combat de faisans qui pourrait ressembler à celui des hommes, beaucoup de violence malgré la majesté de ces animaux!!

I never see these kind off karate. LOL.
Wildthing said at 3:43 a.m. on May 14, 2009:
Thank you all for the comments. Even in the natural world the meek don't inherit the earth. Unfortunately force through domination rules. Life is a battlefield.
Shenresi said at 9:36 a.m. on May 14, 2009:
ohhh, I hope, they are still o.k.!!! Nice shots, Mike!!!
Wildthing said at 9:39 a.m. on May 14, 2009:
They're both fine, Angela. Just another day in the life of pheasants, fighting over territory and the female of the species.
Siagian said at 11:07 a.m. on May 14, 2009:
*footnote: no pheasants were injured or killed in the making of this tabblo.

LOL! you had me going there Mike, i was half expecting a bloody ending at the conclusion... =)
Appropos said at 11:18 a.m. on May 14, 2009:

Wildthing said at 11:32 a.m. on May 14, 2009:
WOODY: I thought I'd show a happy ending to the sequence:) FARID: If they'd been chickens it would have been bantamweight:)
