Life in a Northern Town

Hank

Meet Hank the squirrel. He gives us hours of entertainment for the price of a bag of peanuts twice a week.

His partner is Trudy. Trudy hangs back while Hank climbs the squirrel-proof pole, peels back the wire on the squirrel-proof feeder, removes one nut at a time, slides back down the pole and scampers off to the far side of my neighbour’s garden to bury it. She then ambles across, picks up all the nuts Hank has spilled on the floor and strolls back to await Hank’s return. Trudy is smart.
