Squirrel Chase - Gray Squirrel Chasing Douglas Squirrel

            Golly, put out a little bird seed for the birds and squirrels and what do you get?  Chase scenes out of a Batman movie, that's what.

The contortions that these squirrels pulled off were amazing.  The Douglas Squirrel was faster and better at instantly changing directions, but the Gray Squirrel got in a nip or two.  Regardless of how close it came to being caught, the Douglas Squirrel just kept coming back to the bird seed and taunting the Gray until another chase ensued.

In this pic, the Douglas has just changed directions and the Gray is doing a cartwheel to change its direction to match the new direction of the Douglas.  Makes my back hurt just looking at the pic, sigh.

Fun to Watch!

Thanks for all of the fun comments below :)  The "acting squirrelly" comment made me chuckle...thanks to you all.
