It's a property rights issue. Looks like I need to hurry up and clear cut the yard before it's taken as a piebald robin preserve.



Seriously, I think my son is too citified to have really shot the bird. I'll just have to mow the lawn for him until the babies leave and badminton season can resume.



Just yesterday my dad got strafed by a hawk while hoeing his corn. Now that might have left a mark. The robin is smart enough to only strike when you look away (masks on the back of our heads and problem solved?) but the hawk was really sneaky dropping repeatedly directly out of the sun until some kingbirds chased him away.
