Thanks everyone for your comments. I enjoy reading your input and your experiences with them. Everyone benefits from mother nature's critters and their companionship. They can teach us a lot if we pay attention. And yes, they deserve a place in our lives just to watch and enjoy them. But we must remember to keep our distance and give them their space.
Kristi, ADHD?
Marilyn, "sharpening teeth"? So that's what leaves the marks on the bird bath!
I learned something!
Casey, Great article! I used to travel to Raleigh years ago for my work. I love that state especially along I-40 up in the mountains west of Ashville; so scenic up there!
Thanks Ginny!
BTW here are a couple more squirrel photos from Feb. 2015. I had been feeding them sunflower seeds in the bitter cold. I think this one is an expectant mother.
