Showdown at the duck pond today. This little shit saw me, and followed me halfway around a 1/4 acre pond. I steered clear of him for the most part. I was getting a photo of some juvenile Great Tailed Grackles when up he comes from a little hilly area. I got this photo while he was making a beeline straight for me.

He attacked me once. I grew up with yard birds so Im not too worried about roosters unless they sneak up from behind. They really can be nasty, though. Whoever left their production rooster at a duck/turtle pond probably did so recently as his spurs were mostly trimmed down. I caught him the second time and tossed him over a nearby fence. He can fly so he can get back over on his own.
