[Leica] IMG : Camouflage in the Fall - MARK R

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I don?t know why I thought I could recognize something that was more than 
half in the squirrels mouth; looked like an acorn which is all I ever saw an 
squirrel eat. I look it up and it says an acorn comes from nut of the oak 
tree.
I Bing it and it says " Squirrels eat the acorns of over 20 species of oaks, 
as well as hickory nuts, walnuts, beech nuts, hazelnuts, and any other kind 
of nut they can get their hands on and chew open. Squirrels also eat plants, 
insects, bird eggs, and even baby birds, but acorns and other nuts are their 
main food source."

    Thanks all for viewing
    
    Mark, I don?t think these are acorns. The tree for me is an elm, and the 
squirrel very methodically plucks the fruits/seeds from the branches, and 
munches the shells open, which it then drops. It doesn?t store the seeds and 
eats them on the spot. A simile would be me with a bag of cashew nuts along 
a tumbler of peaty Islay. ?
    here?s a crop
