THE TIDE AND TIGER PRESENTS BARNER OF THE WEEK (FEAR AND BETRAYAL EDITION)

We've noticed that our good friend, BigBlueAub, has spent a lot of time posting (see here and here) about the attack misguided flight of the eagle down on the Barn last weekend (like most Barners, BBA is prone to focusing his attention on animals, but we digress).  In keeping with this theme, we present to you this weeks Barner of the Week:

We present to you Gopher Barner.  For comparison sake, see the pic below:

We know that there are lot of theories out there trying to explain the mishap on Saturday, but I think its safe to say we have found the culprit.  The eagle was confused by Gopher Barner, and its natural instincts kicked in.  And now you know, and knowing is half the battle...
