An Autumn Red Squirrel’s Monday

We’ve all had days like this American Red Squirrel’s. We just aren’t always unfortunate enough to have someone taking photos of the entire disaster…..

The squirrel sat on the branch and told the walnuts exactly what it thought about them for 2 entire minutes. I’d rarely heard such language.

Then Little Red took its temper out on an Eastern Grey Squirrel that dared to set a paw near the walnut tree–it chased the bigger black squirrel clear across the path and up a maple before grumpily returning home.
