Hawk in Flight #129 by lennycarl08, on Flickr

That is an excellent shot...so vivid that it jumps out at me.

Crappy shot but maybe worth it for the expression on the hawk's face. The hawk is getting pecked by a woodpecker.

EDIT: I've been told this is actually an Eastern Kingbird attacking a Swainson's Hawk. The kingbird has a red patch on its crown that is normally concealed but shows when it is excited.

Mike, take the credit for having trained the jay to do acrobatics for you.

You're right Sibil. Pondrader gets credit for training his birds and animals, so I'm just going to go ahead, and take credit for training this scrub-jay.

Great shot, Mike! It looks familiar, did you post it before in another thread?

Shalu...I've looked thru my gallery several times, and cannot find where I ever posted this one here before. However, my signature says, "often mistaken, but never in doubt." That means that it's highly possible that I'm wrong.

Now that's a new one - a bird with a peanut! What will they think of next?

Unfortunately he was not successful at getting the peanut. However, a crow was able to eventually grab it, and polish it off.
