Confrontation

I stopped by Trinity Trail (Brockdale Trailhead) on my way from work. I was looking at this eastern bluebird on a branch, when a northern mockingbird arrived.



I had a premonition how this would turn out, and, sure enough, a kerfluffle erupted:



I do not know what became of the northern mockingbird, but I did see a male bluebird
on a nearby fence:



I saw him head into the nearby bluebird box. Nobody in that bluebird family went hungry.

LJ tells me you had a birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday! And I hope neither bird was hurt.

Thank you! Both birds were fine. I do not know why the mockingbird thought it a good idea to land near the bluebird with that tempting bug in hand.
