These two were at it for at least five minutes. The Crow held its position and the mocker was dive bombing from every direction.

What a great moment to capture Donny!!

I don't think the Mocker stands a chance but they still try. This is one awesome behavior shot buddy.

Great behaviour capture, Donny; good Aperture choice to get them both in focus. I see this with Blackbirds and Crows; there's often a nest nearby - eventually the Crow flies off with an egg or a chick
