Squirrel Appreciation Day...Don’t Tell Barbara Todaro!

Kathy,

We had a squirrel in the walnut tree at my parent's home in Minnesota.  He loved bombing the dog with walnuts, and the dog kept trying to catch him.  We have a dear friend, who has squirrels  come to his patio for peanuts every day.  A

We had a Jaguar dealership, in my service area, that had the same problem with squirrels as many. The squirrels did over $100k damage (total) to six brand new Jaguars in their lot. The squirrels enjoyed the taste of the insulation on the electrical wiring; stripping, than shorting out all the cars electrical systems.

Life did not end well for those poor Squirrels that ingested all that insulation

I agree they are pretty clever, I have not found a bird feeder yet they cannot beat in someway or form, even if it is simply to pick up what gets dropped by the birds underneath. Maybe their temprement comes from living in the moment...

Kathy I know a few two legged squirrels, but I am not sure I appreciate them very much 🤪

This is so cool that you have them trained by opening the blinds.....and les voila it's nut time.  Love it Kathy Streib !

What fun photos, Kathy. Squirrels are certainly interesting creatures to watch.

We have ground squirrels here in our area, and their hole digging can be pretty destructive, and they are persistent beyond belief!

I love squirrels even though they steal our oranges that are super sweet and same with the tangerines... they are very smart don't touch the tart oranges or lemons:) my parents loved them too and would buy nuts to feed them in Connecticut:))Endre

Morning Kathy.

We've had pet squirrels on different occasions.  They are delightful creatures, always looking for an adventure

Kathy Streib I find them to be the most amazing little creatures - many of the residents where I live find them very destructive - Have you ever seen what they construct their nests of?  I looked through binoculars on day and was amazed at how clever they are 

I missed this one, but will share the one and only squirrel I actually held like a pet.

I'm ok with the squirrels in our yard...very entertaining to watch. It's the chipmunk that lives under our front porch that annoys me. I wouldn't mind so much if that little guy suddenly no longer existed. LOL

Dear Kathy,

You got some great shots! Cracked me up. Where do you buy the corn? Look like some exotic varieties.

They look cute until they encroach into one's attic and running and bouncing when sleep at night. The foxes help them to stay away from our yard. Source of habitat.
