Very warm days early Summer days in Ann Arbor. Saw lots of fox squirrel juveniles and adults out and about in Ann Arbor on Tuesday July 2nd and Wednesday 3rd, 2019 at the University of Michigan. So all sorts of things going on. I did see "Patches O'Houlihan" again (a squirrel who had lost most of her fur because of mange) on the Law Quad. Last week, I reached out to the Friends of Wildlife Michigan and they connected me with someone who has worked up some medicated pecans for me to feed the squirrel. I came on Saturday and did not see Patches, but I saw another who seemed to have mange. I did give that little one the first pecan and hopefully that will help. I decided to call that one "Justin" for the youngest team member on the dodgeball team that Patches coaches. On the 3rd, I noticed a third squirrel who might have mange. It could be something that is spread through a nest. So I gave him a name (for tracking) and the medicated pecan. In keeping with the Dodgeball theme - say hello to "Steve the Pirate" He has something on his left paw - and a bald patch on his left side. I will track their progress - fingers crossed!
