While this hawk was sitting in a tree, a few different kinds of birds were dive-bombing it. I was able to get a Red-winged Blackbird in the same picture, but all the others went by too fast for me.

Jamie if you think red-winged blackbirds are protective, don't go near a tern nest. They will actually hit you in the head with their sharp bills.
I saw this happen today at green cay wetlands. The redwings were chasing everything from egrets and stilts to people… yes I did get dive bombed by an angry parent even though I didn't mean to make them angry.
Thanks António. It was fun watching the other birds flying around the hawk and he hardly moved.
Wow Tom,awesome series,perfect photos as usual,congrats and thanks for sharing,first photo is great
