David and Goliath

This little red winged blackbird was not at all pleased with this Osprey invading his territory. Amazing how a bird so small can confront this large raptor!

Thanks so much for stopping by, your comments and favs are always appreciated!

The Osprey doesn’t look too perturbed though. 😊

Goodness - he is dishevelled! I suppose its a matter of who can squawk the loudest!

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful

The blackbirds can be very persistent.

Blackbirds are feisty...but a raptor????

[Milanie]

He's one brave one! I'm used to seeing the smaller birds chase and nip at crows and blackbirds - but an osprey?? Nice capture.

Super capture

Wow, you seem to have many birds of prey around where you live. The only birds of prey seen here are migrating north or south according to the season and sad to say very often never make it a step further because they are shot at by prize hunters even though they are protected birds.

Perfect title. That osprey looks kind of rattled.
