Squirrel nest
9 years ago
There's a big tree near where I live, with a hole in the trunk, and I found out yesterday that at least three squirrels live there! I was cycling past when I saw one jumping from another tree with a pine cone in its mouth and scampering along the branches to the hole, and I stopped to watch it. But the brakes on my bike squeaked, and they obviously didn't like that, because another squirrel came out of the hole to see what was happening, and a third one ran up the tree making threatening noises, came to the edge of a branch and glared at me until I went away.
So I came back later and left them some nuts. I hope they're all snuggled up warmly today, it's really cold and frosty outside! ^.^

They are pretty defensive and territorial. I admire squirrel fortitude.

Where I used to live there was a mean squirrel who'd throw acorns at my head twice a day when I passed its tree...

Maybe that was just a friendly squirrel's way of saying hello! ^.^

Hehe cute. ^^ We don't have any squirrels right around my area. Too many cats roaming about. Hehe. Though we do get the occasional bunny. That said there's a bunch of squirrels that live in this lil park area by a theater. Smart lil guys. They know people will keep any predators away there, save for the occasional excitable dog, and that humans tend to bring food with them which they might drop some of or purposefully feed them. And I bet they sneak into the theater for free movies too! XD

There's a family of squirrels outside my dorm window. They chitter at me through the window screen sometimes.
