"Bad Bird!!!"

As usual, Caleb calls to check on Liam and I during the day. I had Liam in his high chair eating some lunch, and as I looked outside (to see the electrical and water workers-they are doing a bunch of work on the complex), I saw a little squirrel running across our patio, then a GIANT bird attack it. It isn't unlikely to see the squirrels running around, they often do this, and play throughout all the trees. I was shocked when I saw the huge bird (which the pictures I have dont do it justice) attack it and kill it right before my eyes. Liam is staring outside, and Caleb is trying to talk to me on the phone. I explain to him what has happened, and Liam is saying "uh oh". That is right, "uh oh!" Caleb then tells me the bird will fly away with the squirrel. So I think no worries...Liam and I watch...the bird tries to get over the gate but cannot so he drags the carcass to the end of our patio. Oh Great! I tell Liam that is a "bad bird", and he tells me "duck" I said it looks like a "duck" but it is a "Bad Bird!" After he finishes his lunch, I wash him up, just to see that the bird and dead squirrel are still on the patio...Liam is staring out the glass door, and then pacing yelling at me "bad bird", on and on...

We are now really late for nap time, he is trying to tell me about this bad accident while I am trying to forget what I just saw, and to have a little break. He peaks out the window in his room, and the bird is still there, eating what he has just killed. Yikes! Needless to say it is disgusting, and now we have a dead squirrel and no bird eating it on our patio.

I thought it was too cute, with Liam telling me about the "bad bird" or "duck" in his eyes. Here are some photos, but I actually thought I was watching the animal channel when I saw this.
