Black Marauder

It's nestling time and the Crows have gone a-Viking.
An alliance of Red-winged Blackbirds and Eastern Kingbirds mounted an impressive aerial defense against this particular invader.

The smaller birds’ pursuit adds tension and movement, turning a simple silhouette scene into a vivid story of instinct, territory, and nest-time courage...excellent! V

Superb!!!! Crows and ravens not welcomed by smaller birds for sure! VV

This is an amazing image; everything from composition to timing to exposure to the "darkroom" work is artfully done.

Perfect timing to catch this dramatic aerial battle, even more so due to the stark silhouettes.
