I think he was a bit on the excited side. Hew as stripping the bark off the other maple tree racing around and around it w/another squrl. He jumped from pretty high up, about four -five feet, when I knocked on the window.
I think he was still in bark-stripping mode when I came out w/the cookie.
I've warned Momdigr not to feed him from her hand for a while, in case he's started to feel entitled.
My cousin's mother-in-law had a squrl that would climb ya to get the peanut. Her husband wore farmer-type over-alls, that squrl would go into his pockets for the peanut.
I ain't up for all that.
I'll give my squrl some time and try him again. Let him settle his tiny ass down some.
