Going through my files from this past June, I found the following series showing a Red-winged Blackbird dive-bombing a Black-crowned Night Heron that had strayed too close to its nest. This all happened in less than a minute near the Ocean City Welcome Center in New Jersey.

Those birds are very territorial, and if one can’t scare away an intruder, several more will come out. Thanks Jerry!

Thanks Donna. I felt sorry for that heron. Hopefully he will learn to keep his distance.
