Nature Notes of Encounters with Chimney Squirrels and Wildlife
The author recalls chimney dangers for wildlife including a Spiny Lizard in a damper and a Red Squirrel nicknamed Burnt-tail escaping through the porch door after near fires. Transformers and wires threaten creatures, and birds like hummingbirds and Painted Buntings leave feeders by October. The piece ends with thanks for Texas hosts and memories.
