The evening started with two troublesome Mockingbirds trying to get the fledgling to move.  The fledgling stood its ground.  The bird then enjoyed the puddle in the rocks.

Then the fledgling killed a squirrel very effectively having tracked it from about 50 yards away.  On Sunday, the fledgling was seen atop a high apartment building on Riverside Drive.  The immature fledgling of just a few weeks ago, is growing up fast.

The video posted below has about a minute of the struggle between the squirrel and the fledgling.  The squirrel’s death takes a full minute.  If this would bother you, you might want to skip watching this video.  (On the other hand, if you have teenagers, invite them to watch.)
