Hundreds of pounds of acorns fall out of a telecom antenna. If you have ever failed to put a grate on a dryer vent, this probably brings back some memories.

Papa squirrel, "Hey hon, I found a great new metal house for the winter. All we gotta do is stock it."

Mama squirrel, "Boy that looks nice. Are you sure we can afford it?"

Papa squirrel, "It's rent controlled. Actually, it's basically free!"

Kiddie squirrels, "Does it have WiFi and cable?"

Papa squirrel, "It seems to be wired. Real high tech!"

Kiddie squirrels, "Can we invite our friends? We will help gathering the acorns."

Papa squirrel, "Lets get busy, winter is coming."

Mama squirrel, "Won't the chipmunks be jealous?"

Well, it goes on and on .....

When looking at the video end it appears the stash was of peanuts, not acorns.
