Saw something funny yesterday. A squirrel was being pursued by a robin and a blackbird. They were flying after it and pecking it. Chased it across the road and beyond.
I wonder why. Do squirrels eat eggs or baby birds? Wouldn't surprise me, though I usually think of them as herbivores.
That is also the first time I have seen two birds of different species attacking another animal at the same time. It is common to see swallows dive-bombing cats, crows attacking owls, or just about any small bird harassing hawks, but always before one species against one other.
