The angry sentry

I should have sensed trouble the minute I spotted the bird perched at the top of a very tall street lamp, but I was distracted by the  flowerbed just below.  As I busied myself among the flowers, the bird flew down to a signpost and glared at Tinkerbelle.  It was a Mocking bird.  Tinkerbelle got the message and tugged at me, "Come on, Tango."  As I reluctantly moved away, the bird flew straight at my rear end.  Annoyed, I told it off.  But, it was not done yet.  It's next pass was at Tinkerbelle, flying across her face.  "It felt like a scene from The Birds," she later said.  We could only think that there must be a nest nearby. As we moved away quickly, the bird stood in the street glaring after us.
