Blackbird hitches a ride on a red-tailed hawk. Earlier this week we shared vivid photos of red-tailed hawks engaged in a dogfight with two ravens that were interested in the raptors’ nest and babies.

The series of images were captured recently by photographer Eric Dugan at Napa-Sonoma Marshes Wildlife Area in Northern California. They first appeared in a San Francisco Chronicle story written by outdoors columnist Tom Stienstra. Dugan described the event: Escaping captors after 10 years, Amanda Berry ‘real hero’ in kidnapping case, police say. Stumblers Who Like v19.lscache3.c.bigcache.googleapis.com. Facebook.
