Trek Assessment #4

This was my favorite experience by far. NEVER in my lifetime have squirrels ever been as friendly as the one I met at the golf course while I was recording and exploring the space of a particular field next to the course. After making the recording I noticed this squirrel hopping up the tree line. He didn't notice me at first, I was sort of standing behind a tree so maybe he just didn't notice me. Suddenly it hit me that maybe I should catch him running up here before he takes off after he sees me. So I turned the mics toward the squirrel and started recording. I picked him up great on the track. There were leaves on the ground already so I could hear him shuffling through them. He got right up next to me, no more than six feet away and made an interesting chirp kind of low pitched scolding noise for about ten seconds. Then he booked it up a tree. The recording was a great success, but it definitely was a fun experience. Never before have I ever been able to get that up close and personal with a fellow squirrel.
