Trouble Brewing

Trouble is brewing between Bandit and George, but is temporarily at bay

Lwittemire

This is a favorite perch on the porch for viewing the bird feeder which can be seen in the background. George's expression: ears slightly lowered to the side, indirect eye contact, and erect posture, indicate that he's not pleased that Bandit is taking up the entire space, and some form of physical resolution to the situation may be forthcoming. Bandit is attempting to make eye contact and reading George's signals, although he really doesn't seem too concerned. He was there first. "Bring it on, big boy."
