Resource war in the vegetable garden

Eventful morning by the banana peppers. A robin has been looting earthworms since dawn, until he was chased off by a mockingbird. It was only a tactical withdrawal, though, to the cucumber trellis. Mockingbird started to snack on some seeds, but as soon as she took her eye off the sky, the robin was joined by his wife, who took turns dive-bombing her. She executed a nice flip maneuver to get her talons in Mr. Robin’s face, and everyone retreated to the fence. From the top of the fence, they can see my neighbor’s bird feeder, but where’s the fun in that? #gardening
