 Sitting on my front porch one morning enjoying a cup of coffee (aka nectar of the gods) when this squirrel approached the bush with a mockingbird nest with 3 little chicks. Within seconds one of the parents was there making all kids of noise. Good thing I had my camera next to me. Got this photo just as the mockingbird was taking off after the squirrel.

Bet the squirrel gave a whole new meaning to "high tailing it" :) What a great motion capture - the bird's agitation is so apparent.
