Hi Tweeters,

Christy Anderson writes about an Anna's chasing a N. Flicker. The most absurd
pairing I have every seen is an Anna's chasing and moving a Red-tailed Hawk
out of its territory. Talk about a Napoleonic complex.

More recently in my neighborhood, an Anna's was harassing a N. Mockingbird.

Anna'a apparently are dynamos of energy and egos.

Great birding and find that next lifer,

John (One of Birders2)

John + Irma = 2, we are birders, too.

Amazon Forest? Then humans?
