Yesterday I posted a similar situation of the Redtailed Hawk being harassed by a female brewers blackbird. Here is another with the male BB making the attack. Yesterdays image was generated with a 1DX and 400mm DOII plus 1.4X converter. Todays was make with the same setup, but the 5DIV body. Much better IQ. I'm really lucky both the hawk and the blackbird were on the same plane and therefore both are well focused. F/6.3, 1/3200, ISO 800. I have some others with the female BB making the attack which I'll share later. Fun to try to capture this interaction.

Thanks for looking and comments/suggestions are always appreciated.

You are correct, this is a much better capture and a helluva composition! Great shot!

Great shot. I was not able to get a picture, but I had a Red Tail Hawk on top of my Purple Martin Gourdes and a crow chased him away. The next day I could see a Hawk flying and a crow chasing him. I hope I can get a picture, but do not want the Hawk hurting the Martins.
