Wow, this is an excellent set Eugene! Raptors always look a little in disbelief but they get the point of this kind of spunky pushback.
Thanks, Buddy! I'm always happy to hear from you!

Wow Eugene, great action set. Mockingbirds aren't afraid of any thing and most raptors just take harassment as part of their life
I was taking a smoke break one day at the rear of the parking lot at the local Panera Bread when I picked up some commotion in my peripheral vision to the left.
I glanced over and it was either the dumbest or bravest Mockingbird in the world making passes at a large Redtail Hawk, bouncing off of him.
The Hawk put up with it for several minutes and then flew off only to be immediately chased by two crows.

Thanks for sharing your story, Flip! This one was a second time I recorded a Mockingbird trying to overpower a Kestrel. Last summer, I saw a Red-winged Black Bird attacking a Great Egret on the ground and also an Osprey up in the air. The size doesn’t (always!) matter! 😊👍
