Default Revenge of the Song Bird

It's funny to read in the article that the author was actually feeling sorry for the hawks. I saw a picture like this before with a smaller bird riding the back of a larger predator. Check it out:

John, I also felt sorry for this Hawk.

I know that some Hawks grab our songbirds for a quick meal. Red-Tails rarely hunt songbirds. Cooper's and Sharp-Shinned are the ones to worry about. American Kestrels will take out small birds. I have witnessed all three do this over the years. They still have my highest respect. Nature is something else!
