I caught on camera birds attacking Hawk.... so cool...right place at the right time

This hawk thought he would have a meal with the young baby birds in my pine trees.. well i heard the commotion and ran for my camera.. at least i got some good shots.. and he sure got these birds mad enough to attack and one even rode the hawk piggy back......

Bet he wasn't expecting that lol.....Red winged Blackbirds are very aggressive and will protect there young to the death just like a mocking bird will........Those are some great shots! What kind of camera you using?

Wow, awesome. Yep, those are Redwings, and yeah, Passerine birds can be vicious in defending their nests. I saw a Mockingbird attacking a cat in my neighbor's yard once.

I also saw a Starling evading a Cooper's Hawk by staying right above and directly behind it, so that the Hawk couldnt dive-bomb it and hit it with its talons.
