I've noticed that squirrels are eating alot of Maple tree buds lately.

Nice pic. Do you think the young bud's have a lot of protein in them like fresh veggies?

Great capture BF! Now I sure wish those fatsos living here would go snack on some maple buds and quit begging for crackers and corn at the patio door....they are fat as ticks!
