However, if one of these squirrels runs out in the open, it is obvious to every hawk that might be staking out the area.

This squirrel was very fat, leaving off all the acorns that had fallen this year.

Miley treed a squirrel today, but after it took to the trees, it let loose quite few alarm calls:
