Common-Loon (Gavia immer) Fight - NW Washington State

The Common Loon (Gavia immer) is a very territorial bird during nesting season. Very serious battles can occur between males and also females. Injury and even death from these battles is not uncommon. Territorial-male loon is attacking an invading male in this video. Video digiscoped using Kowa 883, Kowa DA-10 adapter, Panasonic GH5, Lumix 20mm lens, F1.7, ISO 400, 4K@60fps. Taken while on my pontoon boat. Pontoon gets me closer, while digiscoping keeps me far enough away to avoid disturbing natural behavi
