I'm so sorry, Red! by cjwhite

I'm so sorry, Red!

I really feel bad for Red! The Black Birds are trying to take over my feeders. There were about a dozen in and around the feeder. I kept trying to scare them away, but they would sneak back when my back was turned. I put my plastic green snake in the feeder, hoping that would make them leave. It worked for about fifteen minutes, but in the meantime, Red encountered my fake snake. I wonder what he's thinking? He flew away right after this shot. There's a Field Sparrow in the feeder. It wasn't afraid. :0)

I'm posting early, because it seems to be bad luck Friday around here. My house phone is out and my internet service comes through the phone line. I hope I don't lose the internet, but better safe, than sorry. Hubby is at work and forgot his cell phone at home. It's just been one of those days. :0)
beautiful male cardinal is considering his options; the fake snake creates such dissonance in the shot; intriguing

What a fun shot with the fake snake- hope it impressed the blackbirds more than it's doing the lovely cardinal. Nice detail on this as always.

Great shot. The photo tells a story on its own! The cardinal does not look too impressed by the fake snake. I hope the black birds are more impressed.
