Interaction: red tail hawk be an attack by Mockingbird

[Myer Bornstein]

The red tailed hawk at Sachuest, national wildlife sanctuary, just sits on the building and allows itself to be annoyed by the mockingbirds, without fighting back. The mockingbirds will go and hit the side of the hawk, and the hawk just sits there.

Good catch in poor light. I feel if the birds were closer to each other, the image would have been more effective.
Thanks for participating in the project.
