Squirrel Gymnastics



Our dogwood tree has berries now that the squirrels really seem to enjoy. They also usually try a stop at the bird feeder while they're shopping for food, but that often involves dangling precariously upside-down by their rear paws while grabbing seed with the front ones from a slowly spinning feeder. These creatures are truly amazing. With the air conditioner off and the windows open, we can hear the squirrel chew the berries and spit out the hard parts. A backyard is a real blessing.
