A Brutal Fight

Looking out the window at the library, my friends and I watched a battle. We cheered and booed as a baby squirrel ran from tree to tree dodging several crows. We contemplated whether to intervene but we instead took it as an opportunity to watch raw nature. We watched for over half an hour before the fight moved out of view. I have never seen anything like it, teamwork fighting for survival, a meal. It was like watching the nature channel on tv, but right here on campus.
