Hi all,
?
We had a mini-fallout today which combined with the usual blackberry feasting?to make for?a lot of activity on Butyl Creek today, leaving little good space to bathe at times and creating "bath-rage."??The highlight was when a Cedar Waxwing--definitely the aggressor here--?got in a Robin's face and challenged him for his choice bathing spot.? The pix of the stare-down are at
