squirrel

If only I had my camera. I am watching a squirrel dive into a trash can. He surfaces with a paper bag. She tears a hole in the bag and pokes her head through. Soon she is wearing the bag like some bulky article of clothing. Little paws tearing. Nose sniffing for crumbs. Doesn't appear to be anything edible in there. So back to dumpster diving.

A black bird has been eyeing the scavenging. The bird hops over to investigate. Pecks and tosses paper around until plastic sandwich bag drops out.

The squirrel emerges from garbage and scampers over to reclaim his find. She struggles for a time with the plastic. Again, No results. So leaves the scene.
