Lucky that they weren't hawks There used to be a mated pair of hawks near where I used to help my DB at work. If you came anywhere near their nest, you were "fair gaime"! Didn't matter your species or anything, you came out "second best"! I think they attacked my brother twice, and I describe him as a cross between a lowland gorilla and Neanderthal man!Sarge should be grateful they are not Mocking Birds...
When I was a kid we had a cat that chased birds. I watched one time, the cat was in the middle of the street, the pair of Mocking Birds took turns dive bombing her from either side of the street. She'd chase the one, and the other would fly in and poke her back, she'd turn to go after that bird and the other would turn around and fly back in and poke her...this went back and forth like that for some time until she gave up.
BTW, Sarge is a rather handsome fellow.
