On the road with Willy
a little while ago I started to put out orange halves for the resident Baltimore Orioles. Beautiful little birds.
Instead of my intended recipient the local Mockingbird has taken over.
He is very protective of his new found plenty.
Watching from the sun room I've seen him swoop at and attack most moving creatures that get close. Me too, when I go out to replenish his bounty.:boxing:
It's actually quit entertaining.
Since he is a year round resident I guess I'm now committed to an orange a day in addition to the other bird feed.:confused:
I'll have to consider it payment for the song he brings to my yard. Even if it starts at 2am many mornings.:drum:
