I hope this works. Amazing footage of Bald Eagle vs. Mockingbird from my neighborhood

Gol durn it!

I can't get the video to post.

Any tech gurus out there?

It's a short video (about 1 minute) from Nextdoor.

It doesn't seem to work the way that YouTube videos do.

Apparently too close to Mr. Mocker's nest.

After about a minute of harassment, the eagle vacates, still chased by the mockingbird, until sufficient distance is achieved!

Those little guys are fearless!

drill me in the back of my head one spring here in Florida. And drilled my 40-lb dog in the hiney. They are always chasing the big blue herons in the air and anything else that pisses them off. Fearless for sure. And they will sit up on a roof or telephone pole and do a 30-minute song routine that just knocks your sox off. Love those little guys. One spring I had a nest in the bush out front and tossed raisins onto my driveway and that batch of babies was raised on those. Too much fun.
