A Corvid+ tale of this past Wednesday, in emoji. (Words in alt text)

I Disney Princessed up more wilderness friends (I have befriended the local crows and a pair of ravens who seem to think I'm okay). I was serving up peanuts to the crows and jays, and saw the squirrel trio come bouncing over, immediately followed by a new player: A hawk.

Crows and jays were having nothing to do with it and took off. The hawk sat in the low branches of a tree watching and watching... and the squirrels were of course, freaked out.

Eventually two of them chased each other around and around the trunk of the tree, and the smallest one decides this is a great time to make a break for those tasty peanuts he's been eyeballing. Hawk: Swoop. Trio no more! The duo sat perfectly still on a branch for 10 minutes after the murder of their companion.
