Squirrels in the Peanut Basket

[lostindiancamp]

I would dearly love to put out food for our squirrels, but fire ants get into the peanuts, deer corn or other stuff that we put out.

I hate fire ants.

It was kinda odd to see the ad to this video after watching BreakingNYC but I kinda like it. It's peaceful.

@MissMontana21

Yeah, who DOESN'T like squirrels?

Oh right, pecan tree owners. lol

This is one of four ambient videos I have running on the TV for hours at a time. Two other squirrel ones (more scenic against our redwood tree), and then the sunflower video with Deuter's music on it. That is on my channel as well. These videos have stood the test of time and "sick room." Might market them to nursing homes.

Hi liked your video a lot. I hope your peanuts are un-salted and roasted, salt is terrible for them. I feed one at the park unsalted organic hazelnuts and walnuts since some sites say that peanuts can be bad for their digestive systems. Thanks for being so kind to the squirrels!

[CarolJWright]

Several months ago I made a special bar that fits over the back kitchen door, and added a fold out table and figured out how to brace it. Then I stenciled figures of flowers and insects on it, with a big black sqiurrel stenciled right in the middle of the table. Mom sits here for an hour at a time calling "Come on honeys, little penis! Get your penis!" (MOM!! She has Alzheimer's). We also feed dove seed, and birdseed, so it's quite the production.

We tried to go there yesterday, but too crowded, no parking. We went south to one of those where you can park and be very near the surf. Mom's favorite view was of a fluffy dog we met in the parking lot. Dorothy is still alive, but moved to Oregon to be near her sons.

Your video skills just keep getting better and better...

These squirrels were a special treat!

Thanks. Does HMB mean Half Moon Bay? Mom and I were just out there yesterday. This video wasn't hard to do, videowise. Set up camera, let it roll. I have some other squirrel videos. The recent sunflower one is along the same lines. People don't have the courage just to let the camera run and leave well enough alone, though choosing the right scene takes some thought. For complex video, see the latest where I filmed Mom and niece Wendy singing One Love, woven in on the Playing for Change video.

[rbacon11]

Yep, Half Moon Bay, here on weekends only. I still recall your earlier video of mom and friend on the bench above the beach (couple of years ago).

How fun! I can't tell whether they're eating the nut or carrying it away to eat elsewhere. Pretty babies.

[CarolJWright]

They do both, of course...and bury them as well. This year I have peanut plants sprouting everywhere I water. The plants are rather attractive, actually. Will be interesting to see if they grow any peanuts underground. Maybe the squirrels will dig them up themselves. The only thing they don't do is . . . share. ;-)

[CarolJWright]

send me your address and 'll send you both a DVD of it, and two others. One is Squirrel Morning (when they are most hungry) shot against the base of our redwood tree, and the other is "Squirrels. Peanuts. Birds" shot in the afternoon with a variety of birds, a limping crow, scrup jays, and squirrels...and dropping peanut shells from heaven., and BooBoo the Kat. It's amazing how fascinating this is. I made them for my mom to put on when she is reading, but I get sucked in also. Thanks.

a friend of mine who resuces baby squirrels is going to love every minute of this..THX!
