"Um, excuse me, but that's my crawdad. I caught it fair and square." The Merganser tried a couple of times to take the crawdad back, but was not successful.

A Crow took this crawdad away from a gull who had stolen it from a Merganser who caught it in the first place. Thievery is very common in the bird world.

Prairie Falcon on the left, Magpie on the right. Are they friends sharing a perching spot? Well, no. The Magpie is trying to intimidate the falcon, which I've seen them do with other raptors.
