Tiny bird's incredible piggyback ride on hawk

Naw, times are tough, so that hawk is just making a few bucks moonlighting as a taxi. :haha:

An excellent start to a Turducken type dish...

I had no idea hawks were such sissies.

Most aren't.

Well I guess that could be one fearless little kingbird. I mean how does one get to be king if they aren't a little bit bad ass?:king:

It's good to be the king(bird)

I've often seen little birds flying chasing away crows and hawks that are much bigger than they are. I assumed the bigger birds got into the little birds' territories. Good photo.

Fry 'em up & eat 'em up, mm mm good!:yum:

Bird Rodeo.

Quite the pic.

Manouverability trumps size in air combat.

"I'm the king of the birrrrrrrd"

Another one.

Great.. It 's a peckdemic.

Increiable pics, Bruce ... that hawk must get so pissed off by that.

To me that second one looks photoshopped.
That dog don't point.

I'm getting slow. It's not a king bird, it's a hawker harrier.

The defense against this, is the raptor suddenly rolling over, and grabbing the offending attacker in it's talons.

Since the hawks and eagles are larger, and slower to maneuver, this doesn't usually allow them to actually catch the attacker, but it keeps them from from being pecked on the base of their skulls.

It's a trick that can't be used if they're too close to the ground, because they lose a bit of altitude and speed, every time they try it.

BARREL ROLL!
