IMG_8713.JPGLike a Zero fighter coming in at full throttle, the wood-swallow swoops in on the eagle, seemingly screaming its lungs out.
The eagle's expression appears of utter surprise - I'll have the same reaction too if I were chased by a much smaller creature. |
IMG_8714.JPGThe wood-swallow overshoots its target, as if it were a supersonic fighter jet attacking a slow, lumbering bomber. |
IMG_8717.JPGA momentary lull in the action, as the wood-swallow gets out of the frame to do an inverted loop maneuver. |
IMG_8718.JPGAfter the inverted loop, the pesterer attacks from behind in a classic dogfighting tactic. The raptor, seemingly surprised once more, can only manage a puzzled look. |
IMG_8719.JPGThe wood-swallow, like a speeding bullet, again overshoots the raptor.
This time, the larger bird got the message and just flew away... possibly in search of safer adversaries, like snakes and lizards...;-) |
