How cute was that?
Mrs Fox and I remarked to each other last Fall that there were very few squirrels in our garden. We are surrounded by trees and they normally use our roof as an expressway, but neither sight nor sound of them.
Now, however, there are at least a dozen flying around. Judging from the cooing sounds coming from one of the trees, I suspect that a mother is encouraging her babies to explore. The latest one to leap from our roof to a nearby tree was the size of a small hamster.
We have several hawks in the area, and a bobcat, so numbers will no doubt decrease.
