Red Squirrels are active throughout the year. They feed on a great variety of seeds, nuts, eggs, fungi and conifer cones. The home range is less than 200 yds. across. They may live to 10 years. (Field Guide to the Mammals – Burt and Grossenheider)

NATURE POETRY

Winter has changed his mind and fixt to come. 
Now two or three snow-feathers at a time 
Drop heavily, as if in doubt if they should drop 
Or wait for others to support their fall.                – Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
