No sooner is the key in the lock with the door just cracked and that familiar kack-kack-kack-kack can be heard…it’s as if she can she through metal and concrete.

You take a deep breath and step outside ready to “Run the Gauntlet” and you wonder…will today be the day I get hit ?

By this time she has already made her first pass and coming in for the second as I raise the camera.

All these birds are great protectors/defenders and the females even more so.
