Treesquirrel at the DIY Trunk Show

Pulaski Park Auditorium

For the first time in a while, we had the larger tree squirrels at our feeders. There were five of them at one point in time - clearly they heard from their cousins in Ann Arbor that I was a softie for squirrels. That was just a matter of time, I suppose! Cosmo and Wanda were enjoying it for sure.

This photo was taken during my visit Karangwe game reserve in South Africa. First and foremost how the tracker spotted these two amorous tree squirrel was beyond me. Part of the mating routine in this courtship where by the male grooms the female underneath her right leg.

Pallas's squirrel (Callosciurus erythraeus), also known as the red-bellied tree squirrel, is a species of squirrel native to Greater China, India, and Southeast Asia.

Pallas's squirrel is a medium-sized tree squirrel, with a head-body length of 16 to 28 cm (6.3 to 11.0 in), and a tail 11 to 26 cm (4.3 to 10.2 in) in length. Both sexes are of similar size and appearance, and weigh between 310 and 460 g (11 and 16 oz). The colour of the pelt varies considerably between the many different subspecies, but is generally brownish on the upper body with a more reddish tint on the belly, and often with some black on the tail. The precise pattern and shades of the fur are often used to distinguish subspecies from one another, but make it difficult to distinguish the species as a whole from other, similarly variable, tree squirrel species

Squirrels and other wildlife acquire food from dumpsters. Housing dumpsters away from buildings can reduce pest problems, especially if dumpsters have broken lids or are otherwise in disrepair.

Squirrels belong to family Sciuridae of small or medium-sized rodents. The family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots (including woodchucks), flying squirrels, and prairie dogs. Squirrels are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa, and have been introduced to Australia. The earliest known squirrels date from the Eocene and are most closely related to the mountain beaver and to the dormouse among living rodent families.

This little sequence is me eventually passing this fella in front of me. He was teasing me for the first two laps, picking up the speed and keeping it high enough to keep a good lead on me. He knew I was there.

But I held my pace and he faded. I took him on the hill.

Squirrel nest in an attic. This picture was taken during the winter, when outside temperatures were below freezing. Despire the large size of the attic, the squirrel nest was created adjacent to the access point, where warm air currents from below kept the nest heated.

An Eastern gray squirrel climbs a tree in Bienville Square, Dec. 23, 2018, in Mobile, Alabama. Squirrels are plentiful in the park, and it’s a popular local pastime to feed the squirrels, causing many of them to become overweight but extraordinarily tame. Average gray squirrels weigh 1-1.5 pounds. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
