I love watching those acrobacies…here in Tegucigalpa its common to see Great Tailed Grackle fight with Black vultures or TV´s
Since I was a kid its reminded me of WWII movies where the fighters attacked the bombers…..cool birds.
That’s pretty cool that you caught that!I enjoy watching that sort of stuff.-I remember a rwbb attaching itself to the back of a hawk.
Poor Red-tailed Hawk!
