On this morning’s walk, I saw a mockingbird running/flapping/squawking/pecking behind a squirrel, both going fast as hell along a telephone wire—until the squirrel abruptly took a header off the wire into the top of a thickly branched evergreen tree.
The mockingbird then turned around, balanced carefully on the wire, looked at me, and let out some triumphant-sounding calls.
NCbear (who’s still wondering what the hell the squirrel did—this is the first time in my life I’ve seen a bird scolding and pecking a squirrel as it tried hard to run away)
