Very nice shots. They are prettier then black buzzards!

The squirrels in our wooded backyard,about five, receive all kinds of nuts from me on a daily basis. As for the feral cat, I'd feed it, but I doubt that would satisfy its natural instinct to hunt and I don't want to encourage it to hang around the squirrels or the many birds we see every day.

Last week the wild cat decided a nice young squirrel would be just the thing for a late lunch. I didn't get the chance to shoot the beginning of this life and death drama played out in our backyard, but as birds quickly took flight and the squirrel fled to the sanctuary of the tree, in three seconds the squirrel started its ascent of the tree with the cat in hot pursuit. The sequence of what happened next was both amazing and a little comical at the same time. First the squirrel, which knows this tree very well, hustled up towards the first branch but swung out of sight around the truck, while the cat reached the first branch and wondered where the heck the squirrel was. Then, near the end of the very brief episode the cat lost the squirrel in the commotion, while the squirrel knew very well where the cat was. Would a cat really benefit from catching a squirrel with its razor sharp teeth and claws? I have my doubts. Unlike its power climb up the tree, the cat did what most all cats do when faced with coming down. It pretty much backed down.

I've had a squirrel eat from my hand at a park, but so far here at the house they are squeamish.

Squirrels in our backyard can dine on pecans, walnuts, almonds, corn, sunflower seeds, acorns, birdseed and peanuts. No wonder they stick around in the trees, in the attic and anywhere they want. We coexist. Why go anywhere "else?"

I'm pretty sure that these are Black Buzzards. They are quite common in rural and urban settings.

While at a CASA convention last November in San Marcos, Texas I shot these hungry diners. Enjoy!

Yep, I like that about God. He arranged for me to meet and marry a wonderful woman who thinks of many ways to serve Him by helping people every day. And God knew the tree would fall and alerted my wife. Amazing love.
