Coopers hawk vs killdeer and kingfisher

Alas, I don't have any sharp photos of the coopers hawk chasing the kingfisher.  I have it diving down to get the kingfisher, but the kf dove (into the water?) to hide.

First, its looking for brunch.

Then the killdeer get brave after seeing the kingfisher escape. "Git outta our hood, y0! We've killed DEER. you're just a hawk!"

I can't belive out of the four of us no one got the "attack" shot.
#2 is sooo close, but I guess it was not meant to be.
I like the last shot where yo can see all the shorebirds bookin' it for their lives.
