Back off, Jack!

A Great Blue Heron gets a bit too close to a Red-Winged Blackbird's nest, and the blackbird quickly chases the much larger bird away. Keep in mind the wingspan of a red-winged blackbird is just over a foot, and the Great Blue Heron's is six feet! I think the blackbird managed to hitch a ride for a moment!
