This immature Bald Eagle was minding his/her own business when this Redwing Blackbird decided to become territorial. Taken at Blackwater NWR, Eastern Shore, MD.

Great catch. If I'm that Blackbird, at that moment I'm thinking, "maybe this wasn't such a great idea". :D ...or maybe just "wooooohoooooooo!!"

Nicely caught. I see this going on here all summer. Hawks, eagles and even crows all get plagued by the RWBs or the Kingbirds, fearless they certainly are.
