This is the moment a tiny but very angry kingbird hitched a piggyback ride on a red tail hawk.

The feisty little flyer began attacking the bird of prey after it ventured too near its nest.

The kingbird is a small one,

much smaller than a hawk,

but when it is a mother bird

protecting her family, then she

is more than a match for the

hawk.
