Funny sequence and well executed captures John. Love the expression on the face of the Harrier.
Looks like the harasser of the Harrier is a Magpie or similar, so to address Bob's comment....no one likes to eat crow :)

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Thanks Steve. The harrasser is a Brewer's Blackbird.

Thanks Bret. I most certainly do. 40 hours a week at least.

Thanks Rog. It seems from what I have seen that none of the harrassers are afraid of the harrassed.

I heard something a while ago, that raptors (eagles, hawks & such) are so dependent on speed & maneuverability that other birds can attack their wing feathers & they will do anything to avoid the damage.

Don't know how true it is, but the guy seemed to know what he was talking about, whereas I definitely do not!
