The Bandit

These photos don't do this grey squirrel justice. It was the biggest one I have ever seen.

It came in from the east yesterday, shouldering its way along like a bully in the hallway. When I headed out to do chores I threw some stones at it, as it was eating under the bird feeders. 

Missed by a mile. It looked at the stones, looked at me, and went on eating. When I stomped my feet at it, it finally sauntered slowly up the honey locust, casting scornful glances at me the while.

Then it peered at me from about two feet up the other side of the tree and waited for me to go away.

And then it hit the feeders.
