The Outlaw Squirrel

'What shall I do today?' thought the squirrel.

'I'll attack a friend, that's what to do.'

Rough and Tumble

'Now I'm a look-out'

'I could be in cowboy country up here'

A real Western landscape 😉

'I'll hide out until the posse rides by'

Camera note: all shots taken with the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens

    😆 Great!

    They really can be incredibly antisocial. I remember when I had a bird feeder right on the window years ago and squirrels feeding on it, and one time a second squirrel approached. The first made a call like an insane cat and was almost shaking with anger. I think that was the first time I realised that squirrels were the source of those strange sounds high in the trees.

    I've noticed those mewling noises as well. Last week I spent ages looking in a tree for which bird it might be before I realized it was the squirrel right above me. You just don't expect them to make noise.

    Indeed, it's a weird sound.

    PS I have now amended my above comment – I evidently missed a word out on my first attempt. I would like to make it clear that the squirrels were feeding on a bird *feeder*, not on a bird :eyes:

    Such a great photo story. A nice entertainment for my evening. 😆 :up:
    I know the noise, which a squirrel is able to do, too. I heard it the first time in the last summer: it seemed, the squirrel was really angry about me.
