Remember that picture of the young Mockingbird doing the crane (see earlier posts)? Well here’s some kind of Black Bird doing the same thing. Just like the Assassin bug, I don’t care much for these guys either. Why? For whatever reason, these particular kind of Black Birds (I don’t know what the official name of this bird is so if you know, please tell me) like to pick at my lemons. They don’t seem to pick at the lemons so much that it destroys the fruit, instead they just scratch up the skin of the fruit. I’m guessing it may also make the fruit more vulnerable to other insects, but I don’t know that for sure.
Anyone know what kind of bird this is?
