So, you're of the opinion that the black bird was protecting a nest? Maybe, but pretty damned GUTZY of such a tiny(by comparison)Animal.. Wow Thanks for your reply.....................................................................RJM

I've never seen that. Probably protecting its nearby nest. Excellent capture, by the way.

Red Wing Black Birds are very aggressive if you are near their nest. I've had them drive at me to drive me away

I believe that SqBear is correct. I've seen this "mobbing" behavior from several different birds against Great Blue Herons at the ponds where I photograph.
