A mouthful



Well, I was almost out of the woods this morning when I saw this squirrel come running towards me on the path. I could tell he(she?) had something in his mouth but couldn't tell what, until he stopped short when he noticed me standing there. He then ran over to and up a tree until he was almost over my head, scolding me all the while, holding on to the grass the whole time.

Doing a little research on Red Squirrels after I got home, I discovered that they have two litters, one in the spring and one in the late summer. So, I think I must have interrupted mama squirrel in nest-building mode.
