A small Sharp-shinned Hawk and a big Western Gray Squirrel had a stand-off.

The squirrel pretty much ignored the little hawk.




The hawk continued to look about for small song birds.
To the right...

...and to the left.

The squirrel was desperate to eat the sunflower seeds in the green tray feeder.

Hunger won and he ran off the hawk.

The Sharpie moved off to another shepherd's hook to hunt there.
