Location: The bridge to the west of Sparks across the millstream
Time: 1515-1530 hours
Weather: Sunny after clouds in the morning
I was sitting on the edge of the bridge on the way to Sparks from Baxter, just looking into the millstream looking for some sort of fish when a chittering noise made me jump. When I looked up, a squirrel was hanging off of a flexible branch, right in front of my face. He chattered at me for a few minutes, but quickly moved away. The wildlife here is very accustomed to human interaction, and easily will come up to any person on the campus and look for some sort of handout. I also saw a Blue Jay that was hopping from branch to branch on one of the small, whippy trees growing almost directly out of the blue. I was alerted to his presence by the hoarse caw that they make that is so in conflict with how they look.
