And The Runt Gets The Walnut

Hubby had the idea to put our last few mixed nuts in the backyard to see who would take on the challenge of getting them open.  It was suprising to us when we caught Mama Squirrel's runt, last baby still in the nest with Mama, sizing up the largest nut on the ottoman.  He wanted that walnut and there was no stopping him. THH!  Hope I didn't post too many pics, but we really wanted everyone to enjoy this cute show.  I just love animals!

He's being very careful...

He decided that the coast is clear...

And he grabs the largest nut...

What to do now???

I just know I have a winner...

Mama does this all the time...

I think I hear someone...

Uh oh...there she is...

Mama came and ran her little runt boy home!
It happened so fast, it was like a whirlwind!
He didn't drop the nut and it went into the nest with him. :)
