An short eared owl and a northern harrier hawk engage in a tug-o-war with a field mouse while a second owl waites for them to drop it hoping he can scoop up an easy meal.

The guy on the bottom looks as if he were refereeing
You don't see that every day. Incredible shot. Congrats.

The chances of a pair of birds fighting over a meal are probably pretty low... I imagine it happens quite often in the wild. The chances of a 3rd bird being there while the fight ensues is probably a bit greater, but it probably does happen every now and again. However, the chances of you being in the right place at the right time to frame this shot and have it turn out as amazing as it did has to be, well, astronomical... I hope you bought a lottery ticket that day
