20121116 118 SERIES - Red Squirrel.jpg

Ottawa West

COMPETING BERRY-PICKERS - one Squirrel vs 100+ Waxwings. (Two images)

The Squirrel would gets its share of berries whenever the Waxwings were not there. Then, for every Waxwing attack or gorging session, the Squirrel would seem to disappear, only to suddenly jump back into the fray, causing panic amongst and mass exodus of the Waxwings.

Nice series Hank. So did the squirrel teach the waxwings the upside down technique or did the waxwings teach the squirrel? ;)
