As I was walking out the door to lunch today I engaged in an internal debate – to bring the camera or not to bring the camera. I decided not to because I was only headed to the sandwhich shop up the road, 2 blocks away, and it’s a miserable gray day outside.

So I get a half block away from my office and I spy 2 crows scoping out a squirrel, who was digging around in the wood shavings at the base of a tree that had been recently cut down. After a couple of seconds of scoping him out, both crows converged on him. The squirrel stood up to them for maybe 4-5 seconds, standing on his hind legs and eyeing one of them, then turned tail and ran. What he had I don’t know, and as far as I could tell the crows didn’t find it either, but I do wish I had my camera with me to capture it. From now on it comes with me, bad weather or no.
