    I think he's cute :p We don't have squirrels in our neighborhood, too many cats I think. I know people that have to deal with them hate them but to me they are cute little acrobats :D

    awe he is adorable, My mom get furry visitors to the garden including grey squirrels and mice, one mouse I found was on the bird nuts nibbling away , its still a mystery how he got to them. I tried to take a photo but I was too far away

    Pests round these parts not only on bird tables but digging up bulbs and plants. However, in your picture, and pictures like it, adoreable.

    I am a big squirrel lover here...don't have many here at all, I catch them cutting through once in a while...most people hate them but when we used to have them they were so entertaining. One fell one day from one of our huge trees...must of jumped on a weak branch or something...now our trees are too small here.
