We have all seen the pesky blackbirds chasing Hawks around. George Jr finally took revenge and grabbed one. The other Grackle was not too happy.. I didn't have much light unfortunately...

Kris, great shots. Hard to pick a favourite, but I think the first one with George and the Blackbirds is probably it.

Re; #4, fortunately a bad situation (inconsiderate birder?) turned into a good shot. I have this happen to me a number of times - I was minding my own business getting ready for a shot and someone else, often another photographer , comes into the scene and the bird ups and leaves :BangHead:
