Young Grey Squirrel Today’s walkabout yielded an image seen frequently during early spring in northern Illinois. The squirrels are scurrying about looking for food anywhere they can find it. This guy had to defend his tree with a nest up higher from another squirrel. As he saw the other squirrel approaching his tree, he quickly ran down the trunk to the ground and had a little face to face scuffle with the offender. The offender quickly decided to find another tree. Nature can be full of drama if we just take a little time to observe it.
