Squirrels
are pretty crafty critters. For years they have raided our bird feeders. They
can learn to navigate
an obstacle course and can figure out the best way to sneak candy
bars out of a vending machine.
They
usually remember where they cache their acorns, and some people maintain that
they can learn how to unscrew a jar lid. (apparently our squirrels aren't that
smart because they just bite through the lid)
Take
a few minutes to watch the squirrels in your neighborhood. Ours leap between
trees, run up and down trunks, chitter at each other, and - well - squirrel
treats away.
Some
things to note in your field journal:
- what kind of squirrel you're watching
- what sort of environment, and the weather, time of day
- what the squirrel is doing
- sounds it makes
