Critters with cronies


Furry friends: A black squirrel feeding on nuts.

They are a common sight in DC and as our columnist finds out, the city’s squirrels apparently even had ‘connections’ back in the day.

The one thing you will notice about DC is that it is teeming with squirrels. Lots of them. Whether grey or black, scampering amidst the branches of the leafy oak trees that line our street or darting across the pavements, these roving rodents certainly have the run of our neighbourhood. Just the other day, a rather corpulent one collided into my husband’s calf, leaving him shaken, but the squirrel was unstirred.
