Stocking up
No frost/no overnight freezing last night, but yesterday afternoon while out in the woods with Karl, it seemed like this guy or gal thought NOAA might be right.
This squirrel was furiously running to and from a pile of pinenuts – carrying the loot, one nut at a time from one end of the log to somewhere inside – all of the time keeping a wary eye on me and occasionnally stopping to chitter at me. He or she was determined not to let me get in the way of the stocking up process even though I got quite close.
I have mixed feelings about squirrels – They annoy Karl and I…dropping stuff on us, chittering, teasing and generally being noisy. But they are agile and I admire their speed and athleticism. Karl, not so much…see Dog and Squirrel , but he was some ways away, intent on some other thing of interest in the woods.
I finally got tired of teasing this squirrel with the camera and left it to finish stocking up.
