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.

I had 10 pounds of hickory nuts/shells in my kayak this Spring!
Evil little varmints!
Look at all those baby trees some squirrel deprived a mother tree from getting to see grow up.
Here is the YT video, they fess up to say it was a wood pecker.

Were the acorns weighed? Looks like only 10-15 pounds to me.Quote:

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 .....

Puts an emphasis on "squirrel away" stuff.
Bit like the rodents that filled my wife's car air vents: bones, bones & more bones as well as nesting material. Over $400 to remove due to air bags. They did it in my old truck so I closed the vents & turned up the heater & drove 100 k's. the smell was pretty bad for a couple of weeks: after a year they(new ones or reincarnated) are back & chewed the wiring to regain access due to the permantly closed vents. Tiger snake found them-ha ha but I wasn't so happy with him sleeping in the glove compartment.
