If she's in the family way, Chris is going to have a whole lot more squirrels hangin' around his yard by the end of summer
I wonder if that squirrel has a sweat towel?

He came right up to the foot, looked at the nut, thought it over, but decided to leave the nut alone. I guess he figured that's my nut and he shouldn't take it.
I also had blue jays coming into my sun room to get their treats. Bad idea, though, because their bird brains had a hard time differentiating between the sun room's glass panes and the open door. A couple birds flew into the glass panes, and I think one got a concussion. His singing sounded weird ever since that day.
So I stopped feeding the jays in the sun room, and never taught them to come further into the house, like the kitchen. But squirrels are very smart--and squirelly ;-)

And I love the metallic sounds grackles make while feeding. At one point, I must have had 3 dozen grackles hanging out in the branches of a very tall tree above the house.
Woodpeckers, cardinals, electric orange orioles, wrens, bluebirds, robins, chickadees...they're all so much fun to feed and watch.

I had a pet squirrel that had no problem jumping on my lap and helping himself to the peanuts I was eating. I couldn't keep him away.
They may be smart, but they have a short memory. I used to pull a joke on him where he'd jump into a bucket of snow. He wised up for a while. But after five minutes I could pull the gag on him again.

This one seems to remember stuff... maybe he writes it down like that Memento character...

That's nuts!
Was your squirrel a pet, or a wild squirrel?

He was orphaned and fell out of my tree at an early age. He was an infant.. eyes weren't yet opened. So I adopted him and kept him seven months through the winter. He also adopted me. I was mother, father, and tree to him until I let him free when the weather got warm.
I bet he was jumping all over the house as he got older? I read squirrels don't make good pets because of that. They'll jump onto the curtains, the fridge; and from the top of the curtains, they'll suddenly jump onto your head, and everywhere else. They won't stop jumping [chuckle]. Tree squirrels are natural jumpers. They gotta jump. (That's what the book said, anyway.)
