Birdie V

Uschi and I were in the shed when we
heard a commotion by the house,...

I arrived in time to find,...

Vladi leaving the house with a bird in his mouth,...
(Most likely a juvenile Spotted Towhee)

He caught it and then went home with it,...
(We left the door open during our walk to air out the "cat-house")

He wouldn't let it go,...

Until I scruffed his neck,...

It flew away with V in hot pursuit.

It regrouped in a small oak, with an EXCITED V chirping below.

It was off when V started up,...

Leaping into pursuit,...

Zoooooming

Awkwardly bounding through the deep green grass.

Les ran after him,...

Bounding,...

Away,...

Daaad, I don't think meowme is happy with me,...

Holy Cow! He was all over that birdie. Now I feel really small for laughing at V, for hanging out by the bird feeder, thinking he would never catch a bird. I bet the brothers are grooming him tonight!

He actually caught it on the ground in some shrub-grass. This time of the year is when we have lots of Towhees coming through,... probably the same species that Tanji caught a few years ago.
