Squirrel activity is high at this time. There’s lots of nest building and renovating, digging up of old buried seeds and nuts, and frequent munching. The weather has turned slightly colder and the squirrels are paying attention.
Here’s some shots of resident gray squirrels doing what squirrels do while prepping for and reacting to the cold of winter.











So, if you notice the squirrels seeming to be busier than usual, they are. And, you now know what’s behind it all.
Thanks for the squirrel update Ranger Greg (and sharing Ranger Brooke’s wonderful Christmas mask and more). Will you write another post about squirrels on their appreciation day? (1-21-2021)?
