Redtail Hawk and Northern Mockingbird (2)

Countryside, KC, Mo

BEST VIEWED AT "ORIGINAL" SIZE

THE NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD DID NOT LIKE THE HAWK IN THIS LOCATION
AND ACTUALLY ATTACKED THE HAWK, FLYING AT IT, AND CRASHING INTO
ITS NECK AND UPPER BACK..

THE HAWK HAD ENOUGH ON THE THIRD CRASH AND LEFT THE AREA,
MAKING LOTS OF NOISE, SHOWING HIS FRUSTRATION..

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S VR
1/2000s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso560 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
