After the smack

A northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) smacked me on the side of the head.  This is the culprit watching me closely:

What that dearest, protective parent was defending happened to be this:

A fledgling.  One who flitted from above me to a nearby post, and one who happened to catch an insect along the way.

Good teaching!
