Animals are amazing. We have all seen the omnipresent grey.squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis. During the summer my wife and I practically live on our front porch. Sometimes it feels like we are watching a fantastic wildlife show.
The squirrels are amazing creatures. I estimate that we have at least ten squirrels living in the four big maple trees in our yard. In front of our house there is a busy street with a green inviting park on the other side. What's a squirrel to do? Well, they have developed a series of aerial paths that utilize trees and the power lines so that they can travel from our yard to the park and back in perfect safety. The other neat thing is that they do this in pairs and groups and I am almost certain that they learn the routes from each other. I am happy to say I have never seen a dead squirrel in front of our house. There definitely is more here than meets the eye.
