Last year I had a BAOR chasing American Crows.  Hmmm, territorial behavior.  After another 15 minutes of observation I followed the male right back to an active nest.

No, but my most memorable attack bird was an Anna's Hummingbird in Golden
Gate Park, San Francisco, harassing and actually landing on the back of a
Red-shouldered Hawk presumably because it entered the hummer's territory.
Quite amusing.
