Great pics! They certainly entertaining to watch - even cute if you ignore their bulb-digging!! Yours certainly looks fat and happy and well fed.

Thanks Sandy: He should I have that feeder for him you see him on as well as a corn cob feeder just to the left of that one. He also gets into my birds black oil sunflower seeds and my wild bird seed. I put out fresh corn cobs for them all the time.

Ya know, JV? I have a female who clings to my kitchen window screen and eats 'trail mix' bird seed...but she flat turned her nose up at some fresh corn that I had left over from dinner one night. I was just grilled inside of the husks (gas grill), do ya think she is persnickity, or does fresh grilled corn just not suit my furry friend?
She loves fresh plums tho! And I am fresh out now!

Jimmy, What a cute squirrel! ![[lala]](im/graemlins/lala.gif)
![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)
Too bad it's a he, you could name him Sue. I don't think I've ever seen one that color and with such a long tail. Do you know what kind he is? We have a lot of squirrels around here, but they're a light grey and not so much brown. They keep snipping the flower heads off of my Gerber Daisies. Just for fun!!! ![[Mad]](im/mad.gif)
I could see it if they ate them but they just let them lay. ![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)
They are fun to watch. ![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)

Oh Jimmy, what a cutie! ![[Wink]](im/wink.gif)
The squirrels around here seem to look more grey than brown. They dig up my plants and bulbs, then destroy my feeders, ![[Eek!]](im/eek.gif)
but you still got to love their antics! ![[Love]](im/graemlins/love.gif)
They are such a joy to watch!

I was told they were red fox squirrel I don't know much about them. I do know they will pull up your your small cactus and eat them. This is first year I have seen them. Way they are clearing everything here to sit barren they probably came from some of the former wooded areas. I am thinkin gabout putting up a nest box for them my dogs don't bark at them anymore so I guess they like them.Cillinpepper I buy the corn on cob feed it to them raw I don't cook it for them. I feed only raw items to the little wild life I get.

I think it's so sad how we are taking so many areas away from all the critters. ![[Frown]](im/frown.gif)
I live in the middle of a mid-sized city and had a doe and her fawn in my yard last year. This was a FIRST for me! I was so excited and thought it was really neat; BUT, it also broke my heart to think she had no place else to go. Until this past spring, we had a stretch of farmland and wooded area between us and the next town, but it's been cleared and there are already about 50 houses there with more being built every day. quote:That sounds like a GREAT idea Jimmy,

I hope you do it. You know, I get mad when they dig up my plants and destroy my feeders, but I still love them and buy 'Critter Food' for them!* * * *

Love the pix of your pet, Jim. I also have two corn cob feeders for the little devils and I'll sometimes put out raw peanuts for them. They are very destructive but shoot, way too much fun to watch to worry about the things they eat or tear up.
We have the Fox squirrels here, too, and they can get pretty friendly. Here's a picture of a little sow visiting through the window with my dog. They will put their noses up to the glass and try to smell each other...it's a hoot!

Yes, Jimmy, that IS a fox squirrel. The bright orange-red and ENORMOUS size of that squirrel is typical of the Fox Squirrel. We have quite a few of them here in Tennessee along with the usual Gray Squirrels and in the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee, a small, unstriped, chipmunk-sized, red squirrel, called a, "BOOMER".

I am so glad to see others like squirrels. I enjoy watching them but most people around here think of them as pests. I feed the birds so why not the squirrels. They must get hungry to.
Jimmy I like your squirrel. I have never seen one like it. We have the grey ones and the black.
Thanks for sharing the pic.
