Stash

A couple of weeks ago I was out running the trail camera trap line and happened-upon this.

 

A cob of field corn stuck in the crotch of a sapling bur oak.

 

All the corn is already picked around here so it's likely that this curious bit of randomness might have been here awhile.

 

I don't think this is connected to humans in any fashion. If I had to guess, one of the members of my fox squirrel colony cached this here for the winter.

 

If anyone else has a better explanation I'm all ears.
