A good catch of this avian behavior! I do wish the RWB was as clear and sharp as the robin. Interesting to see 2 different species mobbing the hawk. Thanks for sharing.

Hi John

This is the best shot of a Red-wind Black-bird. It was vary hard to get good detail on the Red-wing Black-bird shooting up into the sky.

Ya gotta love the stoic face on the hawk as it is getting mobbed.

Great behavioral shot of mobbing, Peter. Neat to get both the Robin and Red-winged Blackbird in pretty good focus and forming that nice triangle with the hawk.
