Red-winged Blackbirds are incredibly aggressive at defending there nests and they will attack even the largest birds. I've also photographed them attacking a Great Egret and a Bald Eagle.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris,

That is really cool! I know what you mean about territoriality - I got too close to a nest last year and the RWB strafed me hard!

Good job.
