Squirrelly Day

The neighborhood here has a lot of Live Oaks, which in turn, play host to a large red squirrel community. Don't know if it's the mating season or not, but they are certainly active the past couple of weeks chasing each other through the tree branches and scampering across roof tops. It is fun to watch them as they appear to play hide and seek in the crooks of tree branches, and jump from tree to tree in a veritable highway through the trees. Don't know if they do it for fun, or have something more serious in mind. Never really see them catch one another, so it doesn't seem that is the goal. Well it's entertaining to watch our fuzzy tailed rodent neighbors do their "play". Better than watching "Hoarders" on reality TV.
