Squirrel and the Crow
The other day I saw a crow swooping down repeately, apparently hunting a squirrel. It was so odd to see such a wild act be performed in the grassy null next to a building on a corporate campus. A predator hunting prey is not soemthing you expect to see in such a built up setting, not that flamboyantly with the swooping and the scurrying and the hiding.
I thoguht such techniques would require more open land and would be lost in favor of scavenging. Maybe that crow bucks the trend. He or she knows what's best suited for this setting but wants to keep it real every now and then, to be prepared for a huge disaster or just for fun. I guess I can relate.
By the way, the squirrel got a way, looks like it's dumpster-behind-burger-barn time for Mr. Crow.
