Yes, that is a squirrel on the electric tower. He’s King of the World! Or at least, of Silver Lake.
I rarely see squirrels in Los Angeles. I’m not saying they’re an endangered species, but they’re nowhere near as common as skunks, or even coyotes around here. Back east they’re everywhere. (But I miss chipmunks much more!/whine.)
This guy is living life dangerously, as he is vulnerable to the many hawks we have in these hills. Does he think his trying to wrap his tail around the post, which isn’t quite long enough to even wrap properly, will keep him from flying off in a hawk’s talons? Oh well, LA attracts thousands of people who want to be actors, so optimism is a good quality here.
Yes, DWP, we know the tower is HIGH. Thanks for the sign.
Stay safe, squirrel.
