Someone (not me) left the can of seed open…for two days.
When I finally decided to investigate why two squirrels were actively trying to kill each other on the back deck, I discovered the error…as well as the squirrel hiding deep inside the can and very, very, angry at me interrupting his feast.
He hunkered down in the can and stared balefully out at me…making very angry noises in my direction. How dare I interrupt his buffet?!!?
I even gave the can a light kick or two to try and encourage him out.
Eventually he broke the stalemate and vacated.
Later, when they both came back and continued to chase each other away from the old milk can…the victor discovered there were no longer any spoils to enjoy.
He looked disappointed enough that I felt a little bit Grinch-like.
