Introduction
The story unfolds ...
a dialogue of mutual observation began. A fascinating world began to emerge, a world of life and death, all the while in a state of wild abandon at high play. (video, not yet available)
Individual squirrels began to make themselves known to me. Individual little lives, being lived before me, like pieces of a puzzle. A "snapshot", if you will, of moments in time, from another perspective.
Friday,
June 28, 1996. In the early mid day, a House Finch was also engaged, witnessing
the activities documented below:
The feeder is under siege. A SQUIRREL THOUGHT!
Unable
to access the sunflower chips directly, this squirrel then tries to reach.
With
an awkward and uncomfortable angle of approach, access needs to be improved.
Some
(re-engineering) adjustments need to be made.
The
reach is facilitated (a much more comfortable fit)
ANOTHER SQUIRREL
(hard at work)
the
proof is in the whiskers
See the green bits of plastic in the whiskers and on the upper arm
And watching all this from the perch above
American Goldfinch
Steller's Jay
"VICTORY"
Sticking her tongue out. (Not the only one, see the green bits photo.)
