Anyone who’s survived a squirrel tantrum has my deepest respect—and possibly a nomination for woodland diplomacy. You're absolutely right: eye protection is non-negotiable. I’ve seen what they can do with an acorn and a grudge. Stay safe out there, and may your future encounters involve fewer teeth and more reasonable rodents.
Bravo! I say, Bravo! You have made one lonely traveler's week. Having been on the receiving end of a stern warning from my backyard squirrel for the sin of treading too close to a hidden stash or simply for breathing the same air, I feel more prepared than ever for our next encounter.
Your bravery in the face of backyard diplomacy has not gone unnoticed. That squirrel clearly sensed a formidable presence. and perhaps, a rival memoirist. I’m honored to have provided tactical support, however unintentionally. Remember: never break eye contact, always offer a decoy walnut, and under no circumstances should you hum near the birdbath. They take it personally.
Wishing you safe travels and fewer squirrel tribunals.
Well done. Thanks for the laughs. I’ve been at the business end of a squirrel tantrum. Eye protection is definitely warranted.
