The ballsy approach...
Are you nuts?
Don't you dare!
In the end, the hawk gets back to its rat-spagetti...

Black Friday
Tompkins Square had its own share of post-Thanksgiving frenzy on Black Friday. Rats were going for a dime a dozen and, as one hawk sank its claws into a tasty rat snack, an aggressive squirrel (who I'm sure had been camped out all night in anticipation of the holiday bargains), tried unsuccessfully to drive its rival away.

Cool, you got some stills of the scene. Love that tough-guy squirrel with a peanut in it's mouth like a cigar.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and I loved the captions!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marty - it was quite a show!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think this little tough guy will learn an unfortunate lesson one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI used to get mugged by a squirrel on the way home for shopping. He would jump up and down in front of me and demand food. He was picky too.
ReplyDeleteLove your documentation! My husband is still traumatized by a 70s squirrel ambush in Central Park...
