SmugMug > all-time keyword > attack > While I was at the lighthouse I suddenly heard a loud commotion; it sounded like some birds fighting.  I ran over to where a crowd had gathered and it was apparent that a Nene was attacking one of the Shearwater chicks on the other side of the chain link fence.  In this photo you can see the baby goose in front and the gray Shearwater chick on the ground.  At this stage of their development, the Shearwater chicks are pretty helpless.  A tour guide jumped over the fence and rescued the Shearwater chick.  It wasn’t clear what had provoked the attack but the Nene might have seen the chick as a threat to its babies.
