@christophernolen1: Very young Eastern Grey squirrel. They take a very low-key patient unassuming role for a period of time until they truly feel comfortable asserting themselves. This allows the clan to accept them without reservation by the young one paying his dues by deferring to the older squirrels for an appropriate period of time. He looked me in the eyes for the first time today as if wondering what his place was and if I actually accepted him as a legitimate member of the tribe. If I had reacted to his look with any negative indication it could set back his progress of integration weeks I am afraid.
