Excerpt from Cecil's Books of Natural History: Part I.-Beasts; Part II.-Birds; Part III.-Insects You hear a sharp, shrill chirp; and if quick enough, see in the fork, or on the rugged knot of some old oak, a bright-eyed little fellow, scolding and flirting, evidently quite vexed at your intrusion, and afraid that you will see where he means to bestow the nuts which fill his puffy cheeks. Watch him slyly and quietly, my friend, if you wish to observe him. If you approach too near, his whisking tail vanishes behind the tree, and presently you see him skipping from limb to limb, till he is lost among the distant tree tops. Should you come upon him unawares, you would find a sleek, grey-haired little fellow, sitting erect upon his hinder feet, with his tail turned up against his back like a plume, while he is gnawing a hole into a nut which he holds in his fore paws. There, it is done, and the empty shell rattles on the ground. He looks around - sees you, chirps, whisks his tail, and good-by.
