Almost a Don King look-a-like in avian plumage! :)
Still a pretty bird and a well executed capture. Do tell why the moniker?

They spoil the fun for the predators by making a sound that sounds like 'go away' when they manage to get close to the prey :)

That's quite the reputation to have! Nice job on your photo.
