I didn't know if they'd come back to the nest so every so often I'd check. I came out with both Finch parents up in arms and then I saw the vermin climbing down the tree. He stopped in his tracks and I saw a little Finch bottom coming out of his mouth. I was shocked! I will now let my dog out on any squirrel I see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839903378804402359.post-51656681398397580102008-08-12T23:24:00.000+08:002008-08-12T23:24:00.000+08:00Great story!

I didn't know that squirrels ate baby birds or meat until about two weeks ago when my pastor shared in his sermon how he watched a squirrel outwit a mother bird and snatch a baby from the nest and head off to the woods. Now i know all about the food chain and animals eat others and all that, but there's something a little disconcerting about a squirrel eating a baby bird!MiltIzMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216678169069028581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839903378804402359.post-34210721560638569132008-04-06T14:40:00.000+08:002008-04-06T14:40:00.000+08:00Woww...
