When you are low on the food chain you have to take care when you venture out to eat. The Round-tailed Ground Squirrel appears under the gate into our yard.
And carefully looks around to see if there is any danger nearby
You cannot be too cautious, there is always someone watching, somewhere
When the way seems clear, a quick run out into the open to the yummy quail block
Where a couple of mouthfuls are hurriedly munched and then cheeks filled with more goodies
Before running back into the shade, safe from the hunter in the skies
To enjoy a tasty meal

Hello Celeste...how sweet is this little guy..I guess that is why they have such big eyes so they can watch out for all the predators... cute..Michelle
I love how there is this whole little drama unfolding! This quail block must be yummy - I remember there were some animals munching on it last week...hmm...wonder what it tastes like ;)
Great shots, each one so filled with nature's loveliness.
