Drama in The Backyard

 

This Squirrel was happily minding his own business

 and didn't have a care in the world.

Here is the Dark-Eyed Junco picking away from the ground.

Which delicacy caught his eye?

Here comes the Stalker, lying very still for many minutes
carefully planning his next move.

This is after the pounce.
The prey have escaped!
He is empty pawed.

Failure and Retreat.
      But until we meet again.......
