This Red-winged blackbird was dive bombing this heron and causing quite the racket but when the heron wouldn't leave, the blackbird just perched on the herons back. The heron just kept looking for fish and didn't pay any attention to the blackbird at all. I photographed this along the Chambly canal in Canada.
