Here’s an immature male Baltimore Oriole and a Gray Catbird arguing over a perch at Stevenson Woods, Galveston Texas taken this past May during migration.

Fantastic!! (Who won? ) Great find with wonderful sharpness and detail, against a great BG. My only nit is that the Oriole merges into the dark shadow. Any way to get a little more tonal separation?
Yup, this is impressive behavior and you’ve done a great job with detail in both birds though the catbird is a little sharper. Nice diagonals. Superb color and background. The perch works really well.
