Looks like the red-winged blackbird is defending a nest. Both birds so handsome, and your photo action is terrific, Hien. Thanks for sharing these exciting moments in the field.
Awesome shot of the red winged blackbird! When I was in Portland we always had one of those flying up and down the window of our meeting room. Funny creatures!
Great action shots, Hien. This morning I was thrilled to see an immature eagle on our walk. As it flew off, it was pursued by a blackbird. They are cheeky little things!

Thanks, Jet! I was watching that Red-winged Blackbird. Suddenly it launched itself upward and went after those two crows.

It’s a tough bird for sure. On that day it was chasing away two crows, each at least twice as big as itself. Thanks Donna!

Exciting photos! Red Winged Blackbirds are plucky guys. I have seen one going after a Great Blue Heron. Oh my what a size difference. Best, Babsje
