Get off my Roof

Little mockingbird is giving a lot of lip to the invading red-tailed hawk.

"Get off my roof, you big bully!" she seems to be saying. Eventually she chased him off.

It is surprising how smaller birds chase the big ones away from their territories and their nests. These are truly heroic stands that only a mother could appreciate.

Today, it was difficult to select a blip for the day. I captured a rainbow at six am, this hawk picture, a Roadrunner robbing somebody's nest. a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, and some beautiful pictures of Jimson Weed blossoms.

Its a jungle out there...
