The brat squirrel

Nutty the squirrel was making a big stink this morning. The noise they make sounds like a frog on steroids. His tail was going a mile a minute too. I think he was mad because I got up earlier than normal and caught him in my backyard sneaking to the bird feeder. Anyways, he didn't want his picture taken either, and decided to cover his face, or maybe he thinks he is hiding doing that, or maybe he is playing peek-a-boo? Who knows but I am not sure having a squirrel around is going to work out. We'll see!

Gray Squirrel settling into new home

Meet Nutty the squirrel. Nutty moved in a few weeks ago. He is the first one I have seen in our new neighborhood. Our home was built in 2007, so, it took about 4 years for them to move on in. The trees especially the oaks are large enough now for them to be comfortable here with shelter and food. I haven't seen him at the bird feeder yet but he appears to be working his way up. Still very timid of me watching my every move sitting at the edge of our property in a queen palm tree. He eventually climbed down a frond and jumped to a magnolia tree to take him to the ground, and get away from the weirdo with the camera.
