"I Know It Is Here Somewhere"


This black squirrel was rummaging madly through the leaves as if it had last something. Probably looking for a treasure that someone else had hidden. The squirrels are all looking a bit chubby and have beautiful coats of fur as they prepare for the winter ahead.

    It could be that it's buried a nut or some other food around here but is confused by the leaves covering everything. Hope it's soon found.

    I have seen squirrels do that too. I wonder if it had buried something to eat later, and then after all the leaves fell and covered the spot, it has harder to find.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

    I always feel better when I see them scurry about.

    Squirrels store their food by burying it in scattered caches only to dig up later when food is scarce.

    Squirrels are fun to watch as the rummage around, especially your black squirrels.
