I was at a safe distance with this shot so at no time was I at risk of being mauled

Good catch! A careful approach was in order, they can charge at any time.

I think I have heard about this little guy.
He has his buddies hiding on lookout and when they see a hawk coming they warn him and then once the hawk is committed to its dive they signal him at just the last moment and he jumps off the rock leaving the poor hawk to crash into it at dive speed.
Then they all gather around and taunt the hawk while throwing nut shells and stuff until it starts to come out of it. Then they all go down their burrows and continue to taunt the hawk until it flys away.
Mean little critters.


That is my cabin fever inspired story and I am sticking to it.
I just thought of one for the post of pics of the "Super Guppy". I think I will go post it on that thread.

Seems you were spared as he had already procured a meal.

There is safety in social distancing.

Most people have absolutely no appreciation of how vicious these guys can be. Glad you were able to keep to a safe distance and manage such a great image. Thanks for posting.
