Comments on: Black walnut bounty http://scientificink.com/blog/2007/09/30/black-walnut-bounty/ not particularly objective musings on odds and ends - Dunrie Greiling, Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:59:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Susan Harris http://scientificink.com/blog/2007/09/30/black-walnut-bounty/#comment-1179 Susan Harris Wed, 03 Oct 2007 12:59:47 +0000 http://scientificink.com/blog/?p=188#comment-1179 Interesting how squirrels evoke comments from so many of us ... Between my neighbors and I there are 3 huge walnut trees in my back yard, and they wreak havoc with my lawn. This summer I decided to take remedial action and pick up all the walnuts and squirrel leavings, but these activities have been hampered lately by my broken foot. So now, when my lawn is mowed all sorts of walnut residue is again being packed into the earth.

Might be different squirrels. Red and gray squirrels don't stash stuff in piles as far as I know -- they bury it (randomly), as you mention. You may actually have flying squirrels. I've heard people describe them as building a cache. Ah. Might be different squirrels. Red and gray squirrels don’t stash stuff in piles as far as I know — they bury it (randomly), as you mention.

I'm glad you're writing. Perhaps you'll do a collection some day. I so enjoy reading prose about nature. I'm currently reading Desert Solitaire by Abbey. He puts me in touch with the austere high desert that I'm growing to love. I think that's the gift of a fine writer, awakening others to life. delightful reading. I’m glad you’re writing.
