Hugely entertaining spectacle on the green grassy lawn today.
Two crows, and one grey squirrel.

Normally this time of year, the squirrels chase each other,
and it's up and down and around all the trees and things.

But I guess this squirrel was hungry, and for whatever reason,
he wanted something that he could dig up out in the open in the grass.
So there he was, dig dig dig, all business.

The crows were not amused. They wanted to stalk around in the open.
I know not why. An occasional desultory peck at the ground,
but mostly they seemed to be strolling in the sunshine.
And they did NOT want that grey squirrel on their turf.

For several minutes, squirrel versus crows. Not to the death, mind you.
Just each of them sort of chasing the other about.
That darned squirrel actually ran straight at the crows!
And those things are pretty big, compared to a squirrel.
Notwithstanding which, the squirrel made the crow JUMP to one side.

When the crows were impatient enough,
they would move well away from the squirrel,
launch into the air,
and FLY at the squirrel which worked far better than trying to chase the squirrel from the ground.

And squirrels are hilarious when they decide they HAVE to run for it.
I sat there and laughed and laughed.
