Squirrels in the Old Crescent
After lunch most days, I take a walk around the woods behind Bryan Hall, and I’ve become friends with some of the squirrels that live there. When I called this one, he scampered up a tree as soon as I gave him a piece of caramel popcorn), then sat on the shelf mushroom room while chowing down on his treat.
Last spring I noticed the family of Cooper’s Hawks in the woods, and even though they have long since moved out, their next became visible after the leaves fell. This nest is really different than the many squirrel nests in the forest, it is made entirely of sticks and is about twice the size of the squirrels’ leafy bowers. The snow scenes are from the Dec 15th snow in the woods.
