...SQUIRREL!

Lucy and I were out in the backyard when a small creature sounded out an alarm. I thought it was a bird that just wouldn't stop tweeting. But it wasn't a bird. Lucy was going back and forth searching for the beast. I scanned the hill above to find a California ground squirrel. It was perched on a thicket above it's burrow sounding the alarm call for several minutes. It only went away once I moved close to the fence to take a picture.

Boy! Was it angry?!
