Now if only Rhambo would leave crossbow at home might be more to enjoy, on wildlife side.<br /><br />Yes AH mocking birds have such defensiveness,lol. Saturday my neighbor Vern showed me amazing pics of a mocking bird attacked by what looked like a coopers hawk. The hawk was feasting on the catch in a Chinese Elm tree. I was hoping he would place online but he is only a hard copy non-net guy.David Sneidershttp://www.youtube.com/user/Kryochrysalis?feature=mhumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376851959525276763.post-72613183211979066322010-08-13T09:10:44.350-07:002010-08-13T09:10:44.350-07:00Yesterday I saw a mockingbird kicking up a ruckus,...Yesterday I saw a mockingbird kicking up a ruckus, hopping and yelling from the top of a telephone pole.

I prefer your former appellation: Animal Blogger! <br /><br />David, thanks for the remembrance and links to the Nature program. That video is great. So right -- I am continually amazed at the wildlife we have around here. I didn't start this blog looking to post on wildlife, but that is certainly one of the more interesting directions this has gone.Michael Coppesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662927233777789003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376851959525276763.post-5642027279458880722010-08-11T16:03:40.637-07:002010-08-11T16:03:40.637-07:00You take good bird picks.
