While driving truck up utlity line easement at our little place the other morning, I spotted an unusual "fluttering furball" in the grass several yards in front of me. My approach broke up one hell of a fight between a roadrunner and a squirrel. I could not tell which one was "winning", but the squirrel was the first to run off into the woods.
At first, I suspected the squirrel might have been messing with the roadrunner's nest, then got to thinking, no, the roadrunner may have been trying to make food out of some baby squirrel ...
While I've observed various wild critters independently doing their own things out there for years, this was the first time I'd ever seen 'em two of 'em going after each other in a little "turf war".
Anyone else got thoughts on which one was likely the "agressor"?
