This time we located a really bountiful tree on campus. A pecan tree! It's amazing that it spends that much energy making thousands of nuts full of proteins and oils. Precious energy spent...
We were first cued in by the crows-- they were perched up top, dropping nuts! (WHOA JUST HAD AN EARTHQUAKE here!) We heard them drop them on the pavement. When we started gathering them, there was much jibber-jabber amongst them. We could almost make out what they were saying ... "Hey, those colorful moving animals are taking our food. Better try somewhere else."
In any case, I returned with probably 5 pounds of raw pecans. Perfect!
