Tiny bird's incredible piggyback ride on hawk

Look out, it's the hitchhawker!

Quote:
This is the moment a tiny but very angry kingbird hitched a piggyback ride on a red tail hawk. The feisty little flyer began attacking the bird of prey after it ventured too near its nest.

Pat Gaines, 41, captured the moment at Bonny Lake park in Colorado.
'I've never seen a hawk harassed so much. The kingbird pecked at its head as the hawk flew away screaming,' she said.
