Otis had a visitor today....looks like the Squirrel Army has closed up shop early this evening.
I came in from grocery shopping and glanced out the windows...there he was. Grabbed the Bigma and didn't even check the settings, just fired away before he was gone. There wasn't a bird or squirrel in sight...except one lone squirrel on the squirrel feeder to the left of the shot. I figured that squirrel was a goner and hated to see the next move.
Now I know this sounds crazy, and I'm known for crazy, but this is the honest to dog truth, I swear on Otis' hide. Just as I was expecting the worst, the squirrel jumped down on the fence and charged the hawk at full speed. The hawk was startled and his takeoff was troubled but he did leave and I haven't seen him since. I see some crazy stuff here, but never have I seen anything like that. It was either a damn brave squirrel or a damn dumb squirrel.
Here he is looking directly at the squirrel and the squirrel is looking back at him.
Just seconds before the squirrel charged him.
It's no joke, it happened just like that.
Regards!
Can you post stuff like this here? It does involve bacon...the squirrel saved his own bacon...and he honestly did!
