It was close to noon and I happened to see this hawk low behind some buildings and went looking for it. I found it high in a dead tree and thought I might get some flight shots.
Only problem was it was right near a path leading up to the Audubon building , so everyone kept coming by and I kept pointing out the hawk to them as they went past. this lasted for about half an hour.
So the hawk looked like it was getting ready when this small bird kept buzzing by its head, so I kept taking shots.
When I got home and looked at them I noticed where the little bird went, and all I can say is that's one brave little bird.
The light is terrible, but the subject is great.

By the pose of the little bird, it appears to be imitating a common raptor attitude!
Great capture Bruce!

Now that's an interesting shot, You're right about the light but a bird on the head of a much larger raptor trumps the light!

Brave little bird is right. Interesting. It is the only place it can be on the hawk and survive. Learn something new every day. Thank you for this.

I think theres an actual part of the tree right in back of the Hawk that the small bird is on, you can see it just above the hawks head, but just the same its a pretty safe spot and he can see where the Hawk is right away.
Not as good as the owl on the womans head I saw over the winter, but it just shows what can happen, and some very strange situations.
