My Mom took this photo last week from the sliding glass door of her house, looking out to the backyard.
Her initial reason for taking this photo was that there was a hawk (yes, a HAWK) visiting her backyard.
Sure, that's interesting enough. We don't see many hawks in our backyards here.
But, the best part is that she captured the reaction of a squirrel upon seeing the hawk.
The poor squirrel instinctively flattened itself as close to the ground as possible, and froze there, hoping that the hawk wouldn't notice it.
Can't you just hear that poor squirrel thinking, "CRAP!"?
Don't worry - this story has a happy ending. The squirrel managed to get away by doing a slow army crawl across the patio without the hawk ever noticing.
apologies to any PG-13 and under readers for using the word "crap" twice in this post. I hope your parents will forgive me. ;)
