The Red-winged Blackbirds harassed the Heron till it left the bay. RWB are so territorial.

Great shot of the encounter!! The RWBs are very protective and I guess the heron had enough.

Great shot, and so interesting that a heron can be driven off by a blackbird.

I suppose the heron might be appraised as a predation risk. But do male RWB discriminate predators, or chase 'everything'?
