Slow Down, Squirrel Ahead
Filed under: They coexist with birds
bit of sad news.
Last night he was gone! Squirrel on the road. Dead. Hours earlier (less than a day ago) we saw the horrifying sight – “John” was dead flat (or flat dead) on the road. His tongue was sticking out.
Why didn’t the drivers learn to slow down? Why did the speed bumps not encourage more careful driving?
Had we put up signs saying “Squirrels ahead” (not “Children ahead”), it would not discourage impatient, reckless drivers.
As a bit of background, lately we’ve had a lot more animals near us. They are reproducing fast. But they also face dangers.
Squirrel visit a lot this year, both at the front and the back of the house. Squirrels are harmless to the birds (unlike cats).
Squirrels are gentle animals.
