We used to have a Siamese who got tormented regularly by Scrub Jays, but they left when we hollered! I think your birds might very well have carried you off if there had been a few more of them! The palms look familiar.... The Sabal Palm is very common around here.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-43335870314978863822015-06-23T18:36:24.322+10:002015-06-23T18:36:24.322+10:00you are creating a wonderful garden.

Mostly I see birds ganging up on birds of prey and owls. While hawks and falcons tend to quickly fly off, owls have a habit of just sitting there while dozens of birds join in the mobbing.

A few days ago a male Blackbird was chasing Penny round the back garden. There must have been a youngster nearby. The sight of a small bird chasing a large greyhound was funny to observe and unusual as Blackbirds normally just create a noisy fuss.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-48936276111490993412015-06-23T06:37:37.703+10:002015-06-23T06:37:37.703+10:00Wow, I am glad you came to the rescue of your kitt...Wow, I am glad you came to the rescue of your kitty.
