Here, we have a hasty iPhone shot of the infamous Sonic Bird. Once a delicate contributor to the grand symphony of nature, this bird has turned predatory in the face of civilization's encroachment. Guard your tater tots.
Having some fun with Wild Bird Wednesday

It can happen to the nicest bird. The blue jays in CA were ruthless PB&J thieves. :)
Looks sure can be deceiving!!!
Must like Sonic too.
A predatory bird, the cat thinks that is absurd. But he will guard his bush with the tush..haha
You were brave getting so close with your camera, MZ! :-)
If looks could kill...
What's a tater tot?
ha ha!
How funny! I guess all Sonics have their resident predators because I've often watched the sparrows that hang around ours. When my daughter lived in TX they had grackles at theirs and those can be creepy birds!
I once knew a cat named tator tot!
Once. Haaaa
Ah, yes! Looks are indeed deceiving! And I didn't realize Sonic had become so popular with the winged set! Thanks for the giggle to start the day!

lol isn't that the truth These birds are brave
Pretty nifty shot with a phone.
Birdwatching at Sonic - novel idea. :)
Superb capture!
We often worry (and rightly so)about animals being put out of their place by all the human inhabitation. But it seems some creatures survive and even do well in the middle of all our mess.
"Give me some of your tots."
"No, go find your own."
"Come on, give me some of your tots."
Good caoture!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful shot of this nice bird.
hahaha...i like that ;)
I've never been to Sonic, they have tator tots? What a neat place to birdwatch.
Still, worth the risk, seeing you got this great shot! ;-)
The Mac Donalds (yes, mcD... please dno't tell ANYone) I used to take Kelly to when whe was wee had 2 resident grackels. And a nice playscape under trees. Yes, actual trees. Fries were bird-pilfered within 2 seconds of leaving the table.

I guess they learn from our uncivilised civilisation!
Pretty smart bird, I say. :)
I was walking into work the other day when a bone fell from the sky and landed just a foot in front of me. I looked up and saw a crow flying away. I'm guessing it was done with it.
That was a slightly surreal moment.
they can be vicious too...you might lose a finger over one of those tater tots...sc
Just like seagulls here... thieving vermin.
Wow, cool Mama Zen! I had never heard of Sonic but discovered that there is one near me. I'll have to try it. We had drive-ins with carhops when I was a kid.
some birds adapt to "civilisation".
Great shot...love the contrasts. Those sweet feathered-ones don't always seem so sweet. But, it is survival.
Funny!
