Royal Cam Albatross ~ SSTrig Is At It Again! More Displaying & Skycalling at Tiaki! 8.20.21

Tiaki is close to SSTrig territory and SSTrig certainly lets her know that this is her nest and goes into numerous acts of displaying & skycalling at Tiaki. Tiaki clacks right back at her and even manages to pull out her wings in response but ultimately decides to head back closer to her nest & territory! Yikes! SSTrig certainly is one dominant female!! Thank you for watching!
