A nature story.
Or, two photo essays depicting a wonderful day for two Richmond Hill squirrels.
Here, a black squirrel makes a delicious discovery.
Something prompts the black squirrel to look up from his delicious almond.
"Oh my!" says he, as his ears perk up.
"Is the coast clear?"
Indeed, the coast is clear! "I can't wait! What luck!"
"You realize that this is mine? All mine."
He sidles carefully over to the unexpected feast, afraid it will vanish as quickly as it appeared.
Sounds of nomming.
Defeated by its size, the black squirrel attempts to drag it away...
But woe for the black squirrel, no longer alone!
Munchy munch. "These seeds are boring," thinks the gray squirrel.
"What are those sounds of nomming I hear?"
"I must join in this nomming!"
The gray squirrel finds the unexpected feast.
"Amazing!"
"Mine! All mine!" The gray squirrel thinks, as he attempts to drag it away.
We enjoyed your pictures.
Nice story, too bad it had to end.
Somehow the squirrels got the rest of the wreath. Too bad. We fed two squirrels for one day on enough bird seed to supply all the birds for a week. I think that somehow they rolled the big chunks
away. I can’t believe that they ate it all on the deck.
Something is having a great time at the bark feeder. I have only seen chickadees but it looks like
a woodpecker has been attacking it. I don’t think that the squirrels have attacked it. Do chickadees
peck away at the wood?
