    Default Swuirrel Guarding the Watering Knot



    Sometimes when you just stop to "smell the roses you just see some amazing things. I watched this squirrel gruard that knot which had water in it from a rain earlier that day. It chased everything away birds, other squirrels, and the like. It was standing on gard watching another squirrel which was about to come on the tree.

    I like it as well but I would have loved to have seen one such "defensive" maneuver.

    Very nice. Love the textures of the tree, and the super sharp detail with that nicely blurred background.

    Cool story with this also. Thanks for sharing this.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    It does look ready to charge. Without your explanation I would have thought it was guarding a wintering over hole.
