One week from today we will celebrate Squirrel Appreciation Day … or rather, “some of us” will celebrate. My husband has heard people complain about squirrels and asked, “How many members in the squirrel fan club? Three?”
If you have bird feeders, squirrels are often the mammal you love to hate.
On the other hand they are very creative and fun to watch, especially when they have to solve problems to get to the feeder.
Some people put out food specifically for squirrels because they are so cute.
And there is nothing cuter than the small nocturnal southern flying squirrel.
