Hi birders,

This morning we had a, ahem, /interaction/, between one of the recently
fledged juvenile Red-tailed Hawks and the local Acorn Woodpeckers. A
photo sequence that sort of tells the story (large photos):

A bit of background. The Acorn Woodpeckers have been living in that tree
stump for years. Recently, the juvi RT Hawk has decided that it makes a
good perch to beg from. Clearly, there is a difference of opinion about
that! Hence the Acorn Woodpeckers have been /incentivizing/ the RT juvi
hawk to, ah, move along.

On a vaguely related note, ebird list of seen or heard birds this morning:

Finally, a moody, vaguely father's day bird photo for tomorrow:

Fun birding,
