Yesterday, while out on my “smoke break”, a co-worker and I heard a squirrel making quite the fuss. Something was going on in this squirrel’s world… so curious as we are, we started snooping around the trees. Sure enough here was this little red squirrel darting around and that’s when I saw him.. BAM! A huge Hawk! The largest bird I’ve seen (other than the Canadian Geese) around work. Ran to get my camera. I managed to grab its attention for a split second while it tore its eyes away from the annoying squirrel, and caught this one below.
The second smaller picture here is was proof of the crazy squirrel. It got right up to the Hawk and we thought for sure it was a goner. I honestly thought at times that the little rodent was actually going to like paw slap the side of the Hawk’s beak… it got really close. The bird had absolutely no interest in the squirrel and actually flew away from it to get some peace and quiet. It was pretty fun to watch.. not knowing if I was going to get some real action fight shots, but nope, it was pretty tame.
