Verdins Gone Wild!



At first it looked like a quaint little spring scenario at Desert Botanical Garden's Monday morning bird walk - two cute little Verdin sharing space with an adorable Round-tailed Ground Squirrel...


But the Verdin weren't in any mood for sharing.


Our lovely little pair turned into kamikazes, repeatedly dive-bombing the squirrel.


Verdin coming in for a head-butt!

Our poor squirrel got biffed, ouch!

For the latest list of birds seen at DBG, go to DBG Birdwalks Website.
