This Tree Is Mine

Uploaded: March 15, 2014

Description

While out with my dog hiking we saw these two battling over ownership of this oak tree. Neither one was willing to give it up and were still squabbling as we went out of sight. These Red Breasted Sapsuckers can be pretty feisty.

Have a Great Day
