The big bad ravens vs. the brave black panther

It was early Saturday morning. I was at the computer, drinking coffee and reading the news. Edgar and Virginia were making an obnoxious racket outside my window, and I was trying to ignore them. The noise got so bad, I finally looked out the window.



Apparently, Edgar and Virginia wanted to swoop down for some water and Deets decided to defend his territory. Should I run outside and chase them off? Should I watch events unfold and let nature take its course? Should I grab my camera just in case this might make for a good blog story? Need you ask? (But I was prepared to start banging on the window like a banshee if this started to go bad.)



Deets, it's two against one here, and they're as big as you are...are you sure you're up to this?

Hell yeah. I ain't afraid of no stinkin' ravens.



Sure enough, that brave little panther stared them down and won.



Edgar waddled off in defeat, Lyle and Hank resumed their breakfast, and I stood there shaking my head in disbelief.



So the medal for extreme bravery and meritorious service in defense of the 7MSN water supply is hereby given to Deets.
