The photo of the squirrel reminded me of how much I love them.
After I quit working way too long in the not-so-nice corporate environment, my back yard became my sanctuary. My back yard is huge, so I had lots of room to set up many feeding stations for the birds and the squirrels. They were not scared of me being outside, they were used to me. So I got to see them in their little world being themselves. It was quite an experience to see them interact with each other and the birds. Their quarrels were very entertaining. Too bad I don't have videos. I'll have to pull out photos of the feeding stations and bird bath with all of them out there.
My dogs were not fond of them at all! It was funny but not funny how my beagle would present me with a squirrel in her mouth often when I let her out for a while to run around and have fun. I'd open the door to let her in and there she was, so proud looking. One time she just brought me a tail. lol I miss those days!
The excellent article from Birds and Blooms is very interesting if you love squirrels or just want to know more about them and their little antics.
