Stretching Squirrel

A while ago I went hiking at the nearby state park and I happened to see the most random thing…

 

 

There was this squirrel chattering in a tree not too far from the trail I was on.  That’s not random but what it did, was…  And it was hilarious!

 

 

It hung from the side of the tree by its hind feet (paws?), stretched out, and waived its arms around in the air like it was swimming!  I wish I’d caught it on video but I only managed to snap a photo before it stopped and scampered off.

Keep an eye out for wildlife when you’re out in nature folks, sometimes they do some funny stuff!

 

 

 

 

Until next time…

Stocking Up For Winter

Posted on November 18, 2013 | Leave a comment

It always interests me how nature works and how animals know better than we do the changing of the seasons.

Not long ago I noticed two of my cats sitting in my kitchen window staring intently at something.  I took a glance at the tree in my front yard and watched a little squirrel scurry up the tree then come back down a minute or so later with a pine cone in its mouth.  It ran over to a spot on the lawn and buried the pine cone.  Then, it ran back up the tree for another.  It repeated this process several times and entertained my cats for a good ten minutes.  Looks like winter is on its way and this little ball of fur is stocking up.

Forgive the blurriness in this image, I took it through my kitchen window which could stand to be cleaned a little more often than it is.

Until next time…
