Did you folks know that in the springtime squirrels climb out to the ends of branches apparently to eat the tender growing ends and leaf stems? I have seen squirrels upside down at the ends of tree branches and I once saw a squirrel fall off (it was close to the ground already).

Aggravating squirrel.

If you can snatch the squirrel from the branch, you are ready.

But squirrels have nasty breath!

Now THAT’S focusing……

Squirrels do not like to be ignored.
