A snowy mountain scene shows blue jays, woodpeckers, chickadees and sparrows at feeders as two red squirrels switch tunnel holes in a frozen landscape. The observer notes repeated underground tunneling, a double entrance, and the puzzling question of which squirrel belongs to which hole. The tale ends with uncertainty over their rightful ownership.
