As you can tell by the sunlight, the above photo was taken a couple of days ago. I shot it out our kitchen window because the squirrel seemed to want me to. He was posing. He seems to say, “Look! Who am I?”
Rather brazen of him, because he’s been stealing the fluff out of a chaise lounge cushion on our deck for some time. Which is OK. Once it got that hole in it, might as well let the critters make what use they can of it.
We assume they’re using it for a nest or something. If not, it’s just malicious destruction. Again this morning, my wife saw him out there and said yet again, “I hope they’re building a nest…”
My response? I don’t think they’re dumb enough to run back and forth through the snow if they don’t have a practical purpose for it. I certainly wouldn’t do that to amuse myself.
Of course, I’m not a squirrel. Or a naturalist. have no idea what kind of domiciles they have. But whatever their homes are like, they could probably use some insulation this weekend…
