From Gavin McCue via International Owl Center

An incredible photo of a little Blue-gray Gnatcatcher mobbing a Barred Owl. Most birds hate owls and if they see them, they will dive bomb the owls, sometimes actually hitting their head. Photographer Gavin McCue says he just happened to be in the right place at the right time and had a very high shutter speed to capture this.

      That’s what it looks like, but it’s really an intense battle of wills! I suppose it’s like if you had a photo of 2 people in a brawl, but you snaped that photo at a time where it looked like they were hugging with toothy grins.
