EATING & FOOD |
|
|
 |
Red Squirrels frequently eat at the same spot over and over.
Here one has demolished a cone while sitting on a stump.
|
|
|
|
 |
When the pile of demolished and eaten cones and other debris
accumulates, it is referred to as a midden. |
|
|
|
 |
Here's a much larger midden. This one is about 15" deep. It also
includes uneaten cones. |
|
|
|
 |
This midden has quite a stash of uneaten cones. |
