Out of Here, Big Boy - As you coast along on the little electric scooter - this time on the home leg of your trip around the area - you see stuff, High up on the street light pole I spotted a big, black crow trying to keep its distance from an angry little mocking bird. Both of the birds were yelling at one another, and it did seem as though the small mocking bird was giving that crow that which folks around these parts call "What for..." The crow looked to be quite uncomfortable as to the mocking bird's obvious anger. That's the way things are when a crow tries to invade a mocking bird's territory. The little guy usually wins. So it was. "Good-bye Crow. Take yourself away from my nest area. Out of here..." Image - Scram - Gus Kilthau

It's always great when a little critter sees off a bigger one. Good photo.

@jaboUK - Ms Janet - I guess that I was, perhaps, six years of age when I learned that bullies are usually scaredy-cats. It was a lesson true to life. -Gus-
