Cool photo!
...it may have been your Father's spirit, revisiting that awesome homemade chess table? Or, maybe the bird just had to get a closer look at the Amazon Deal Lardy pieces?
Appreciate you sharing a bit of lightheartedness.

When I opened the forum, I thought it was about another form of defense strategy. But look at this, it's a completely unique one! Thanks for sharing! 
The bird be like "It's a birdie attack. I can see my target clearly. Let's move" :P :P
