I live on the Bayou and it is a great show. I think I've figured out our little corner of the world. We have a very mean Hawk here. He attacked one of the little birds swooped down and picked it up. I scremed and he dropped it. Then shortly afterwards the Blackbirds were yelling their heads off. I walked back into the woods and heard the Hawk. So I figured a riot was in progress.

Then when I was feeding the squirrels, inoticed they were sharing thier food with the blackbirds and other critters. It dawned on me. The Hawk is the criminal, the Blackbirds are the cops, and the squirrels, woodpeckers, little red birds and bluebirds are the citizens.

I know my life is getting really scarey.

Are you sure the squirrels aren't the juvenile delinquents? LOL

"Blackbirds are the cops"

You'll have to watch a little closer, now that it's spring. The blackbirds will attack the other birds nests for the hatchlings if they find them. The other birds know that, so they try their best to be evasive when going back to the nest.
