Bird Behaviour — pat morss

Some familiar and some new acquaintances, along with drama in the yard.

An hour after hanging a new front door geranium, our House Finches were checking it out.
On our walk, there was a Baltimore Oriole sampling flower nectar in a tree.
We learned they like fruit. It only took an hour for them to find our half orange.
An observant Gray Catbird thought “I’ll try that.” Once seemed enough.
An adult joined shortly by a young male, with both lit by the setting sun.
Finished dessert.
Anne-Lise saw two Common Grackles continue their fight, hitting the ground.
It was a fast moving tussle, equally matched.
Up again for round two.
Down, but still fighting.
Then the surprise pin with both wings on the mat. Match over.
