There a squirrel would be, foraging in the woods, when suddenly it would hear distant panting. Then footfalls, and the crashing of disturbed underbrush. A fox? A coyote? A wildcat? No, it was a two-legged beast, barreling along the path. It smelled like a predator, but it wasn't chasing any prey. Nor was there a larger creature chasing it. But then the beast was gone, taking its noise with it, and the squirrel could go back to squirrel business. Until another noisy intruder raced by minutes later, and then another, and another, and another.
That was the squirrels-eye view of Gulf Winds Track Club's Red Bug Trail 4-1/2 mile Run on Saturday evening, 3 August 2013. In defense of the runners, Tallahassee's Red Bug Trail is a well-used mountain bike loop, so the squirrels around Forestmeadows Park are used to a lot of traffic. A procession of 92 runners just might be different from the traffic they usually see.
