Nice series. I especially like the bird going after that tiny UFO.

UFO or part of a wing separated or a feather fell from the raptor or a processing remnant.

Ah, I see you are a UFO denier! ๐Ÿ˜

If people believe in intelligent alien life, I wonder if they have considered species that are tiny or huge. There have been very few sci-fi story lines about large and small aliens.

Its a 1st year juvenile Eagle which was too close to the blackbirds nest. He just learned to fly and still depends both adult eagles for food.

Small birds pester eagles a lotโ€ฆand the eagle typically just ignores them. It can't move fast enough to catch them anyway due to the larger size/mass/momentum.
