This photo was taken by Mr. Pat Gaines at Bonny Lake State Park. This park is located in Colorado State.
Here a kingbird rides bareback and harasses a red tail hawk. Mr. Gaines said he focused his camera on this red tail hawk because the bird had been screaming. He also said as the kingbird rode bareback on the hawk, it pecked away at the hawk’s head.
Mr. Gaines posted his photo at the Colorado Birder website. This photo was also published in the Denver Post.
He felt sorry for the red hawk. We all do.
