[obol] Agressive Y-h. Blackbird behavior at my feeder

[FoxSparrows at aol.com]

This afternoon, while watching my feeders and chatting with a friend, I  
watched an adult male YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD on one of my feeders grab a House  
Sparrow by one wing and drop it to the ground. The blackbird simply reached  
around to the opposite side of the feeder and grabbed the other  bird... it 
dropped to the ground and flew away, and the blackbird seemed to have  no further 
interest.
 
Never expected that!
