The more that I get to know my fellow non-human Earth companions, the more amazed I become at who they are, which often bears little resemblance to what biologists, zoologists and other animal scientists say is their behaviour.
That might explain the gap in knowledge. The scientists in their studies take an objective distant stance, which disallows seeing the squirrels, chipmunks and birds as they truly are but as objects of study.
That's truly a shame and a missed opportunity to understand more about these beautiful Earth companions.
Beautiful essay and images Sydney! I like the photos especially of the Red Squirrels. I have never seen baby Red Squirrels before. I will keeping an eye out for some this Spring!
So very special!! Such cuties. As we’ve noted before, we don’t have any cute little animals in the more built up areas of Australia, only grumpy possums and unwanted rats and mice, but our bird life get to know us very well. A cyclist will ride past and warn about a swooping magpie protecting its partner but that same bird will know me well and will warble happily when I pass. Birds and animals recognise kindred spirits just like that glorious interaction of the squirrel with your daughter. How incredibly special, a life long memory. Happy sigh. Thanks so much for another inspiring post. 🤗🤗💕
I am so excited for your daughter that you captured her encounter with the squirrel. She will be so thankful to have participated in something so unique and wonderful!

Aww, love it all, especially your daughter and the squirrel. So special.

Lovely read and photos, thank you. I just saw a Yellow-bellied sapsucker dining on ants the other day. I'll be sharing the video soon.
Wonderful post. Love it!
Oh...the squirrel and your daughter 🦋🐌🫂💗💙🙏🏻🧘🏻♀️🌌
What a beautiful exploration ❤️
