Uninvited Guest

While we were at our favorite restaurant overlooking the Fort Pierce Inlet today, we had an uninvited guest sit next to us at our table. It remained there patiently awaiting a morsel for most of our lunch, until it started 'yelling' at us and I shooed it away. 

Obviously other diners have fed the birds, but no way were we going to, with its friends in the Palm trees, waiting to descend on us. We call them Florida birds because their loud screeching call is what we always hear as soon as we arrive in Florida, when we get out of the vehicle at a gas station or rest area. Officially they are called Boat-tailed Grackles. It's hard to believe that in about a month though, we will be listening for the Robins up north!
