Squirrel Sunday - Walnut Frenzy

The squirrels are back for another #squirrelsunday

The alpha male squirrels are on the hunt to collect as many large walnuts for winter as possible...

This way they can attract the best females to their winter nests.

The trouble is there are many alpha males in this sector of the forest.

Lots of battles occur on every tree to maintain territory.

In the meantime lower status squirrels are busy collecting smaller acorns to have a survival stash when the snow hits.

Soon all the leaves will fall and it will be even more difficult to find food. It is also slipper fighting other squirrels on piles of leave. You never know when you might disturb ground burrowing wasps.

Domesticated squirrels living near humans have it easier as they will just leave fancy husked walnuts out for them.

For the lazy squirrels that didn't prepare all they can do is eat the rotted leftovers and to check the empty husks for small bits of leftovers.

Some of these guys will have to go to the human houses to beg for food. Help a poor squirrel (puts on most pitiful face possible)...

That's all for now, thanks for looking and remember to help the poor squirrels out every now and then.
