when it's mockingbird versus woodpecker, don't assume the mockingbird always wins
2025-04-10 - 6:51 a.m.
Standoff at the woodpecker feeder!
The funny Mockingbird with the white tail feather always tries to chase off the woodpeckers but it never works. Birb just tried to stand down the female Red-belly, and she gave him the glare of death before she started eating. Birb went and fetched the mate. Flew down and hit the woodpecker's back while the other watched from the top of the feeder. She ignored. The Mocker's mate tried it but without as much conviction. She ignored harder.
Now the woodpecker is still munching away on suet while the White Feather Mocker sits bitter and brooding on the curve of the hummingbird feeder...
