I noticed a few days ago a squirrel feeding on the Eastern Red Cedar right
off my back porch~it seemed to be feeding not on the berries but on the
foliage itself. At the time I thought it was rather odd having never seen
them do this, although they do tear at the outer covering of the truck (I'm
assuming to line their nests). There are acorns about, most look like they
have been split in half but not eaten. Other acorns that have fallen look
much smaller in size then in previous years. Here we are surrounded by
hickory trees and metal roofs~~ a few weeks ago they started falling which
is always loud and it was pretty constant for a few days, since then its
been very silent which is unusual.
