Squirrels – Quincy, CA

With winter and its associated snow coming to Quincy, the local squirrels are busy gathering/storing their provisions for the coming cold. To that end, they are all over the park. Karma can see 1 to 6 squirrels at a time outside her window. Needless to say, she is very upset by their busy busy activities and the fact that they like to come as close to our rig as possible in search of pine nuts and acorns. One even climbed up the outside ladder and peered into the large window by the desk. He had an acorn in his mouth.

The only time they seem to be elsewhere is on Sunday mornings. We are thinking maybe they are religious and attend mass/services then. By noon, they are back with a vengeance gathering sustenance for winter.
