Audacity

I heard screaming and looked out the window to investigate.

I’m not talking about a blood curdling, call 911, cry for help.

This was a shrieking and screeching gang of Common Grackle.

The Red-tailed Hawk, in the center of the attack, did not seem to care.

He was not concerned with their squawking or their mob mentality.

I have watched my friend hunt, fly through, and perch around here.

He was still setting his own pace and allowed them to escort him.

Social behavior can be fun to watch.  Bravado can be quite comical.

The experience reminded me of high school hallways.

The loudest and most annoying are seldom the strongest.
