Description
I have always been amazed at the sense of protection portrayed by a Red-winged Black bird. I have seen a group of them attack a hawk and have been attacked by them on a golf course when one of us got too close to the water hazard! Here a Great Blue Heron moved to the other side of the pond as I approached. It didn't take long for me to realize he had landed close to a Red-winged Black bird nest in the cattails. Here is only one of several passes this Red-winged Blackbird made at the Great Blue Heron. As I shot this at 1/2000 of a second, and the two combatants came out blurry, you can tell they were moving at pretty good speed.
