It's starting to look like "Duck Dynasty" here

My best non-SLR attempt at a Woody.

I don't have too many birds, but here's a Robin I rescued from a cat. I put him on a branch in a bush. Soon he was off.

Good of you Dan! And a nice shot of the intended victim, looks like he wants to say thank you for saving me from the clutches of that kitty cat.

 

[Danddd]

Thanks Chillwolf. To finish the story, the cat was a feral cat that we ended up adopting, after he got hit by a car. He recovered and now he's been converted to a house cat.

A common sight for the bay area.

Nice RSH addylo !!
I'm not sure if it's common or not , but the hawks in my area are routinely harassed by smaller birds. Mainly jays "dive-bombing" and the odd airborne chase.

Here's a snap of a RSH taking a break from one of those skirmishes....

Wrong Kind of Bird Feeder

I ran across this thread a while ago - not sure how -but decided I had to post the attached. I live in SE Virginia. I have a storm pond / marshy area in the back yard. We get Osprey, Egrets, Vultures, Hawks, and once a young Bald Eagle - I thought we we're doing pretty good. Recently visited my folks back in Michigan. They had these in the FRONT YARD! Sandhill Cranes = Fearless.
