He was NOT giving up that fish!

This young male was soaring around all over the place yesterday, holding on to the raggedy remains of a fish, and determined not to give it up.

Whenever he landed, his mate came in to claim her share. But he was having none of it.

And he seemed to be giving her a good tongue lashing in the process, to emphasize his point.

I’ve never seen this behavior before. But, I swear, it was as if he thought if he hid it, she wouldn’t know where it was.

Silly birds!
