Squirrel adventure 5/2
Weather: Rainy all day, chilly but not cold.
Today, some members of our mammals group attempted to go out in search of squirrels to observe and learn about for our group project, which we have decided to dedicate to the study of squirrels on campus. We planned this meeting days in advance, and as a result have managed to pick a very un-productive day for squirrel watching. However, despite the rain, there were several squirrels about in Greig garden, the location on campus most noted for its foliage and squirrel population. We enticed some out with nuts as bait, and others were frolicking around in the grassy round of the garden. However, none of the squirrels spent long out in the rain, and remained mobile, not lingering anywhere for longer than a few seconds. The squirrels would soon after run into the safety and cover of the trees in the gardens, which they would run up and leap from branch to branch. However, we realized the futility of attempting to record squirrels in this environment, other than the specifics of what they do in the event of rain, the answer to which ended up being what most mammals do, including us afterwards, which was seek cover and keep dry.
