Looks like a swallow. Fear of death is not an option for a defensive parent. I witnessed two robins harassing an in the tree sitting Coopers hawk when I was much younger. One of the robins made the mistake of going too far below in front of the hungry hawk. The chase was absolutely amazing, but the hawk got a robin meal four feet away from where I stood. As the hawk stood for a minute on its meal before flying away with it, it showed no fear or interest in my being only four feet away from it.
