“Dipper Dispute”
Heikki Nikki was fortunate enough to capture this image of two white-throated dippers jockeying for a prime “dipping” rock along a river in Kuusamo, Finland. The birds use the rocks to look for their next meal, usually mayflies, insect larva, or small fish, then dive down into and under the water to catch their prey.
This image is a highly commended selection in the “Behavior: Birds” category.
