Strange Sight
Uploaded: September 08, 2009
Can You Tell What These Are?
On Nature Walks In The
CANADIAN ROCKIES
!!! I Often Encounter These!!!
If you guessed
"MUSHROOMS"
You Are Right!
Squirrels and Chipmunks are so busy this time of year in the woods.
They gather mushrooms from all over and run them up the trees and hide them.
They OFTEN nestle them into branches that the scavenger birds can't get at so
they are safe in their winter spots for
"survival eating".
Canadian winters are long and cold.
These mushrooms are a true life source for our little friends.
