As I've mentioned before, Manitoba maples are wonderful sources of food for wildlife. The ones at FWG (and the Arboretum) are often a hive of activity (as long as seeds remain on them). One tree at FWG had four squirrels gobbling down the seeds. When I came along, most of the squirrels ran to another nearby tree and waited for me to leave, but this little guy grabbed his bounty and ran into a nearby buckthorn tree to finish his snack.
