She Joins the Fray
Red-Wing Blackbird, Agelaius phoeniceus, male and female, chasing Great-Tailed Grackle, Quiscalus mexicanus, female. The female was perched in the bush in the previous shot. The grackle starred in "Thread the Needle", just before that. So these are in chronological order, but the sequence unfolded from left to right rather than the way they appear in the photo stream. The focus is not as good in this one, but the frenzy is fun.
