to kill a Mockingbird

These are nasty, NASTY little birds. As soon as I hit the yard they are after my tail. My TAIL!! Iris and I are just nosing around, looking for just the right place to do our business, when out of the blue......they are strafing us!! This is MY YARD! We have not done anything at all to annoy these annoying feathered creatures. "A sin to kill a Mockingbird"........we will just have to see about that!!!
