The Squirrel Feast

Nut collecting is serious business for this squirrel.  High above his buffet table, this fellow can run down the trunk and search the ground for nuts and other tasty treats.  On this particular day, this stealth sentry alerted other squirrels of my presence.  






Little twitchy tail, eyes alert to any danger, I hunt the trees and forest floors for the nut.  One little nut at a time, I hoard these treasures for the fall and winter weather, when I will sleep soundly, away from the winter snows.  Twitchy tail, body all a quiver - I am alert.        Ann McArthur 6/12/13
