THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT LATELY AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SIMPLY HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THE LITTLE PINE SQUIRRELS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TEACH THE PEANUTS HOW TO DO A “DIVE” OFF OF THE FEEDING PLATFORM. THIS SEEMS PRETTY FUTILE AS THE PEANUTS SHOW NO INTEREST AT ALL IN LEARNING HOW TO DO THIS…THEY HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO…
LIKE SAYING GOODBYE TO THEIR LOVED ONES, ETC. BEFORE THEY ARE SNATCHED UP BY THE BLUE JAYS.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS IMAGE, FOR THE MOST PART THE PEANUTS ARE HUDDLED TOGETHER SAYING, “SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE”, AS THE BLUE JAY APPROACHES…THE PINE SQUIRREL IS FOCUSED ON USING THE CORRECT DIVING FORM, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANDING STRIP. THIS CAN ONLY LEAD TO PERMANENT SKID MARKS ON THE BACK OF THE SQUIRREL AND LIFE LONG TRAUMA FOR THE PEANUTS, FROM WITNESSING SUCH AN EVENT.
I USE THE TERM “LIFE LONG” LOOSELY. OBVIOUSLY THE PEANUTS HAVE ONLY MERE MOMENTS LEFT ON THIS EARTH, SO DON’T FEEL TOO BADLY FOR THEM.
