Forsythia and red maple buds appear at the same time in Massachusetts, lending a sorely needed explosion of color to the early Spring landscape.
Squirrels like to frolic among the decorative forsythia branches, but they are particularly attracted to the maples. They “tap” them by making single bites in the bark to get the sap flowing, so they can consume the concentrated βsyrupβ once some of the water has evaporated. Later, the squirrels enjoy a feast of buds and flowers.
Superb photography and the squirrel is so cute. Like a little angel.
