Florida: Dive-Bombing Birds

Mockingbirds and Red-Shouldered Hawks, engaging in protective behavior during nesting season.

I have personal experience with this. When I was a boy we lived in a house with a trellis on the front porch, roses climbed the trellis and were a favorite spot for mockingbirds to nest. My sister and I were dive-bombed regularly by the parent birds when we went outside.
