LITTLE PECKERHEAD!!!!

Forth Worth, TX

Everytime I walk out my front door this little fella dive bombs me. He's actually come within inches of my head trying to peck me. It seems they have a nest over the door of the house next door and I'm not anywhere near it! I finally decided I'd try to shoot the little guy going full force towards my face! Everytime I leave I have to run to the car and cover my head! The little peckerhead!

Oh....I know the feeling Cindi. I was taking a shot of a turkey vulture in flight just a few days ago and he flew right at me and crashed into my lens. Nearly knocked me on my butt...LOL. Great shot..at least he didn't poop on you...lol Vote :)

Lee. Funny.
I have seen that look and I already buy bonds.

Yesterday, sis,mom and I were having lunch in a restaurant - towards the end, something knocked me in the head and before I could figure out what it was, a frog landed in my lap....and I did not order frog legs! A frog or a peckerhead????? I'll take the frog. Unfortunately, the frog did not turn into my prince charming....

Instincts of Nature. Amazing. Does look determined. Nice capture before ducking and running away.

Maybe he is upset that you haven't been taking his picture!

Our Magpies do the same thing...quite a shock when it happens...though personally it's never happened to me.

I've been called that once or twice. I wonder if this is what she, oops, they meant. Amazing shot. Vote
