The Shot I didn't get

I was photographing a red shoulder hawk at the lake this morning and, as I looked up from the viewfinder to adjust my settings, he suddenly took off and dove into the bushes near the edge of the lake. The next thing I knew, he was flying off with a couple blackbirds in chase. He had taken one of their chicks from the nest and was flying off with it. UNFORTUNATELY, I had the wrong shutter speed to get this shot, so this was the best I could do:

And it looks like he's really bothered by the blackbirds chasing him.

wow, that is amazing. i actually have so much respect for the blackbirds because they are never afraid to go after the "big guys".

good job Rik!!!

AHHH Nature, great capture of a rare scene

Still nice, I have been there though. Just missing one
