Squirrels

There have been an overabundance of squirrels this year after last year’s bumper crop of pine cones and acorns. They have been migrating across roads and rivers, looking for greener pastures. This week we have seen them swimming the Connecticut almost every day we have been out.

This grey squirrel landed on the pile of logs in the middle of the river for a rest before continuing on to the Vermont side.
