For many years I've been keeping track of who eats what at the FWG. With the advent of digital cameras, it has been easier to document the various critters and their food source. This grey squirrel (black phase) is clearly enjoying the crabapples as much as the birds and chipmunks do. Notice the soft pink haze behind the squirrel? Those are the seedpods of an exotic Euonymus tree. Many species are grown in the adjacent Arboretum, and over the past few years, I've been finding more of them popping up at FWG. Another exotic appearing more frequently at the garden in recent years is the amur corktree. More about exotics in another posting!
