Mind if I take a seat?

Mind if I take a seat?
This Red-winged blackbird was dive bombing this heron and causing quite the racket but when the heron wouldn't leave, the blackbird just perched on the herons back. The heron just kept looking for fish and didn't pay any attention to the blackbird at all. I photographed this along the Chambly canal in Canada.

A unique look that you got at the perfect moment as we watch the red wing blackbird finding a resting on the heron. Their colors are beautiful and you did a gorgeous job with the details, composing, lighting. Outstanding.
