Face off at the feeder

This pair of wild turkeys faced off this squirrel who received a peck on the nose for his attempt to chase the big birds away from the feeder.  Just learned 11/17/16 the male has disappeared after shots were heard in the area.

That's a brave (or perhaps foolhardy) squirrel.  Glad everyone seems to have walked away from the encounter.

What a great catch of this encounter between squirrel and turkey. I love it.
