Certainly can feel the intensity of the look with this one! Pretty fearsome and
fearful!
Does Izzy have a bell? We always put them on our cats to warn birds and other
critters of their presence. I've heard (perhaps urban myth) that domestic cats
are the largest cause of death to small birds.
Probably wouldn't have done much in this situation, but seems Izzy has good
stalker instincts and it may save a few avian beauties in the future when Pappa
isn't around...
I enjoyed your story telling and photo as usual.
Thanks,
Bob

Subject: A bird
Sunday, I heard the most God-awful commotion outside the window, so I took a
look, and Isabelle was climbing the tea rose bush outside the window. A pair
of Thrashers have nested in the top, where a dove usually nests. One
fledgling had jumped out of the nest, and I think another was about to make
the leap. The parents were giving Izzy hell. I reached in the rose and
snatched Izzy off the branch, and put her inside the house. I was looking
around, and spotted the fledge trying to look like a pile of leaves.
Kathy was washing a window nearby, so she brought the ladder and we put the
chick back in the nest. I went to get the camera, AFTER the action was over.
I think the fledge I put back was pretty near able to fly; hope so, Isabelle
can be very determined
Mom and Pop quieted down but they still kept an eye on me.
