This might seem like it's out of left field, and it pretty much is.
what is it with mockingbirds and squirrels?
nearly every morning I'm outside having a pipe, there is a mockingbird trying like hell to annoy, pester, and peck squirrels in a tree in my neighbors yard. It'll target one of them, and chase it all over the yard wherever it goes with dive bomb attacks.
I can't help but think the planets are out of alignment or something when I see it. It doesn't make any sense, they're not even in the same food chain, and even if they were, the mockingbird wouldn't be trying to heckle the squirrel, it would just eat it.
This is just an image I pulled off Google, but it pretty well illustrates it:
