A mocking bird’s been terrorizing the cats and chickens for some while now. It even swoops down on me and takes me by surprise sometimes. I noticed Niaid lying upside down out there and thought she was dead. Headed over there just as the mocking bird dived at her.
When the mocker was pulling out of the dive she came alive and grabbed at it, got a paw full of feathers, but it got away. Niaid resumed position and I ran for the camera.

Saw our ole farm cat do that same thing successfully on the farm. Dang bird would not leave her alone. She GOT IT!!!
Morning Ben. Thanks for the visit. If we wanted to solve the problems of the world we ought to ask a cat, I reckons. Gracias, Jules
