Magpie Harasses a Great Horned Owl

“Go away, little bird!”  This poor owl simply wanted to sit and relax but the magpie was refusing to share its tree.  The interaction between the two was fun to watch with the smaller bird pestering the big one.  Eventually the owl took off in search of a quieter, hassle-free, tree.  Taken May 12, 2014 in Thornton, Colorado.
