That's a great shot Ottahand7. Glad the bird did okay. We had a dove hit the window so hard, it had some blood on its head. It did fly off, but I doubt that it made it.

Lily_love, I think that's exactly what they are doing - brave little guys. I watched this mockingbird attack this Harris Hawk for at least 15 minutes. The Hawk finally flew off to another tree and the Mocker flew back to her nest just to the left of the frame of the shot. The mockingbird would actually bite the Hawk on its rearend, slam into its chest (as in the photo) and just hover next to it screaming all the while. Amazing to watch.
