@MLClark there’s been a few not captured. Feel free to add your own David Attenborough or Morgan Freeman narration.
DA:
Not every human intervention is without its benefits. Here, a wooden fence serves as a better branch--wide, sturdy, on occasion bearing treats--if the reigning squirrel can defend his unusual territory.
A challenger approaches!
But--the sturdy perch grants home court advantage.
Success!
Whether this squirrel knows it, his lot, and that of others like him, will be determined increasingly by his ability to balance similar human encroachments on this, our changing planet...
It's really interesting... I put a trail of peanuts all the way along the top rail of my deck. There is a group of California Scrub Jays now living in my Washington giant fir tree. The Jays spend all their time dive bombing each other instead of getting a different peanut. When the Juncos (little birds) fly in for scattered bird seed... they make room for each other and everyone chows down.

You think they're up for repeat performances?
