Saw an interesting happening at Grahams Grove here in Dartmouth a few minutes ago. It was of a pair of crows going after a squirrel within the trees and on the ground. It did not appear to be playing but a serious attempt at capture or killing it. I can only assume that the squirrel could have been going after eggs or young within the nest of the crows. I recall last year, information shared on this list, about the fact that pregnant squirrels will kill birds and eat their heads (brains) to acquire essential nutrients. Perhaps this might have been the situation with this attack by these crows upon this squirrel? The chase went on for several minutes until the desperate squirrel was able to escape into the chain-link enclosure that contains the canoes and kayaks. Sincerely, Gayle MacLean Dartmouth
