Squirrel Time

What's the purpose of the tail on the squirrel who's practicing his Braille-- his body hidden by the tree with only a tail visible to me? Sends he Morse code with that appendage to other varmints of his lineage, that he's found a tree that's rather fine, grace a' someone who protects her Pine?

A choice opus. Yes, we feed many squirrels each day, haven't been able to count the exact number. About the tail....We have crows in a huge pine next door. Do you suppose the protruding tail is some sort of signal to the crows. Never thought about the squirrel's tail. I do believe the crows are aware of our many stray cats. Hummm? Love, daver
