While I was fixing my lunch I saw this squirrel grab a gourd that has somehow ended up in my yard. He ran up the tree to the little perching spot that is right outside my kitchen window.
He's chomping away at it.
He's working his way all across the top of it, peeling it and dropping the skin to the ground.
A little later I looked out and he had left it up there between the "fingers" of the broken off branch.
About a half hour later I saw him back (I assume it was the same one) and he grabbed it in his mouth and took off down the tree and ran all the way across my yard and into the neighboring yard. They are fun little creatures to watch.
