It is difficult to overlook the ubiquitous red squirrel. It is always around as it tosses cones from the trees, eats them, and then berates anyone who enters its domain. Yet, in all of my (usually inadvertent) squirrel watching, I haven’t happened upon this before.
A red squirrel, in its winter pelage, collects dried grass, presumably to insulate its winter den.
Wow – what a mouthful. I have a very tame squirrel who is bringing acorns the size of its head up my back steps to bury in the earth of my potted plants. If I remove the acorn and put it on the step, he comes back a takes it away!!
Joan sent me this. Interesting.
