Afternoon brawl at the local pond.

This scuttle went on for 10 minutes.  I was standing on the trail at Largo Nature Preserve looking for anything other than moorhens when they started going at it. I think mating season has already started and these two were fighting over the lady that was floating by watching them. All I could see were those big yellow toes flying. Unfortunately they were in between the sun and myself so I had a hard time getting good shots.  I couldn’t go around them without stepping on some alligators so I just shot into the sun.
