Frenzied Bluebird Female
This Eastern bluebird female was in a frenzy in the treetops. A male sparrow had invaded her nest and she was beside herself as she helped her mate try to oust it from their territory. With lots of wing action, scolding and squawking, and divebombing, they were putting up a heck of a fight for the little nest so skillfully constructed from pine straw. There aren’t any eggs yet; hopefully the scuffle will be resolved and the sparrow will find a place to lodge under the M at McDonald’s or the A at Arby’s where he can fare just fine!
P.S. Please view this photo in larger mode so you can better appreciate the delicate little balancing act as this female is standing on one leg, the other retracted and ready for flight as she divebombs the menacing sparrow!
