Very bold little fellows… I saw a documentary where they were challenging rattlers!  :rolleyes  :toocrazy:

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Right time and definitely right place! 

Now regarding that squirrel, he was a brave little guy.  Frankly never knew they had a flighting spirit to them.

Squirrels can be bold, there are some around here that will creep up close to you and you can nearly feed them from your hands.  Surprised the Eagle didn't snatch this guy up and carry the squirrel to it's nest for a late night snack!
