Squirrel #3 is in custody

[dreamshark]

It took most of the day for that squirrel to overcome its better judgement and go into the trap. This one seems more terrified than the first two, who were extremely indignant but not too upset to devour every crumb of bait. This poor little thing didn't even finish supper before curling up in a frightened ball at one end of the trap. It does seem to have finished off the orange slices Richard gave it (because he's got a big soft heart), but there are lots of scraps of bread still uneaten. Waiting for R to get up so we can add one more to the colony we are establishing down at Hidden Falls.

Quick, squirrel! Build a nest to hibernate in!

Actually, I think February is squirrel mating season. Note that these squirrels weren't hibernating (or estivating, or whatever they do). In fact, frolicking seems like a more appropriate verb.

It must be very had to be a high strung squirrel.
