Glancing back into the forest, Parker saw more tall oak trees with their strong, stately trunks. Instead he stretched as far as he could to look around the wide tree trunk and into the woods. And that was a problem for Parker, because the little squirrel was still much too timid to take such a chance.

Unfortunately, in order to see the forest behind him, it was necessary for Parker to leave his nest and climb around to the other side of his oak tree.

Finally he looked down at the ground far below just in time to see a large toad quickly hop under the cover of some wild mushrooms. There seemed to be no danger in that direction, so Parker stretched his neck upward and watched as white, cotton-ball clouds floated across the azure blue sky. In its tall grasses he saw a white-tail doe playing with her newborn fawn. Off to his right a dancing brook bubbled along the edge of a grassy meadow. He knew that these foothills and their woodlands were all part of the place called Forest Park. On his left he could see the foothills of the purple mountain range. Just ahead of him he saw that the rustic ranger station stood like a monument, to welcomed visitors to the state park. So today, feeling very timid and afraid, Parker made every effort to look in each direction before leaving his cozy home to explore and search for food. Sometime in the dark of night, while he was hiding deep inside the nest, he was forced to watch in terror when a large owl came and took away his mother. It wasnвЂ™t the first time in his young life that he had peeked at the outside world from his motherвЂ™s nest, but this time he was more alert and cautious than he had ever been before. On one particular morning, Parker poked his head out from the doorway of his home and looked around very carefully at his surroundings. A large branch forked away from the main trunk and a hole in the bark conveniently served as a doorway to the outside world. High at the top of a tree in Forest Park, Parker Squirrel lived in a nest that his mother had built from a hollowed out place inside the trunk of an old oak. (Sometimes when you donвЂ™t know something canвЂ™t be done, you discover a way to do it.)

It looks like the squirrel will have to re-stock for the winter, but it still has plenty of time. One might think the car had been untouched for weeks, but Fischer says it appears to be the work of a single red squirrel, over the course of just a few days. 'I had to pull the fenders off and clean out all the walnuts out, and thought I had them all and took it down the road, turned the corner and found one rolling inside the windshield where the wipers go,' he said, adding some of the walnuts weren't retrievable, and they're still rolling around in the truck. A North Dakota man who parks his truck near a black walnut tree on his property was faced with a large cleanup after a squirrel decided to store its walnuts - all 158 kg of them - inside the vehicle.Д«ill Fischer tells WDay the furry perp put them everywhere, including under the hood and inside the radiator.Д«ill suspects it was planning on camping there throughout the winter.
