wherein a small thing wins

I will spare you knee-whinging. The Evil Knee is Evil. That is all.

TRUE STORY

So, I face our 4 story parking garage, and we have these vultures that like to land on it and play King of the Mountain--one would land on the elevator building on the roof, and others would perch on the corners of the garage. Well, until earlier this spring. When a mockingbird decided to build its nest in the elevator building.

One thing you should know about the mockingbird. It is very, very territorial.

Over the next few weeks I watched this small bird chase off two enormous vultures.

Just now I saw two vultures--maybe the same ones!--sulking on a corner of the garage. Sulking. Complete with rounds of staring at the elevator building and then turning their backs, repeatedly.

I swear, it's like watching high schoolers.


Heading out to San Francisco and KublaCon tomorrow. At least it will be a break from upper 90's....

Sorry your knee is not co-operating. ♥

Actual vultures? Dear god!

I swear, it's like watching high schoolers.

Oh man, I believe you! I once saw a mocking bird tree one of our cats. It kept dive bombing the poor thing.

Mockingbirds are mean little bastards!
