A reader, responding to my post "I Just Saw a Squirrel Eating an Avocado" (voted yesterday as "the best Slog post of all time"), writes:

You want a squirrel eating exotic fruit? Here is one eating a persimmon. Yes, persimmons grow here and my neighbor’s tree had a bountiful harvest year, appreciated by robins and squirrels. And no, it did not run away and be a small smudge in the distance.

Thanks, Jerry!
