A couple weeks ago I introduced a friend to the bird magic that is Kensington. You saw the angst with the red headed woodpecker, but there were other bird shenanigans that morning. For instance there was this grackle dad and teenager who seemed not to agree about something very important.
Soon dad will be busy with a new brood and teenager will get more freedom. But until then, from the looks of jr’s face, there are more ‘discussions’ in the wind.
I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
Yes, he seemed quite adamant about somethin or other. It’s fun to look at a series of photos and try to come up with a reasonable story about what might have been going on.
You have reminded me of a post I once wrote about a series of photos featuring my daughter’s cat, Sammy. He was a gorgeous boy with a huge personality, but sadly he passed away about four years ago. I just looked up the post and it brings back happy memories of our gorgeous boy.

Ha ha – I like the tale of a teenager and Dad. The expressions when birds interact are a hoot sometimes.

I guess neither one of them was real happy with this particular interaction.

A kind of “read my lips, er beak” type of confrontation. 🙂

Very cute. I think most of us can relate to this one … on both dad’s and junior’s point of view.

Oh, fun! I have such a soft for young birds. I always get a kick out of how they pester the older ones.

dawn, your animal stories are the best! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a grackle before, but daddy looks a tad stern when setting junior straight!
