early winter, frosty
ground loaded with acorns—
ooh, a smorgasbord!
I used to think that only squirrels relied on acorns for food. I had no idea of all the other animals—rodents, birds, and mammals—who also eat acorns. Chipmunks, mice, and squirrels. Blue jays, woodpeckers, tufted titmice and common grackles. White-tailed deer, gray and red foxes, crows, wild turkeys, rabbits, raccoons and opossums. Thank God for Oak Trees!
