Eleven squirrels in the mamón that bears no fruit

There are trees that, though they bear no fruit, give everything. The male mamón growing in front of the Fundación Loros park is one of them: with no seeds to offer, it has spent years as shelter, feeding ground, and silent witness to the life that moves through its branches. This afternoon, in full bloom and full of noise, it gave everything once more. Omar Enrique Berdugo Cabeza could hardly believe what he was seeing. Eleven squirrels at once — scrambling up and down, chasing partners, moving with that restless speed they get when instinct overtakes fear. The whole tree seemed to tremble. His companion Alberto stood watching without a word, the way you do when you know that anything said would be too much. Meanwhile, in the hanging feeders swaying from the same branches, the guacamayas went about their business — calm, indifferent to the commotion — and somewhere in a quiet corner among the leaf litter, a lone squirrel drank water in silence, as if the whole celebration had nothing to do with her. Omar recorded all of it. But there are things a video cannot quite reach: that moment when you stop, look up, and understand that a single tree can hold entire worlds.
