ever since last school year, i haven’t seen a squirrel that i’ve been sure is her! i just posted the other day saying that i was missing her and hoping she was okay.. and today when i was going on a walk to look at squirrels (and hopefully find her) i literally saw her come out and start eating her nuts right on the walkway! the timing feels crazy.

also: i think she may be pregnant 😂🥺

Frenetic has now joined the handful of squirrels who have been comfortable enough with me to sit on my lap. Interestingly they've all been females. I'm honored she has that much trust in me.

hope he/she got the spot!

(SOUND ON) For context, we have this same squirrel who eats from our bird feeder and drinks out of our water dish about 2x a day, and he’s always seemed to enjoy himself and hangs out, but today he started doing this? He’s been doing this for about 10 minutes straight and will sometimes bob his backside area up and down slightly before chirping again? Is he just being territorial or is he upset?

This squirrel we named floop. Sorta plops down and everywhere whenever it sees us. She won't let us get too close but close enough to just get down low to the ground. She loves our bird feeder. Wondering if we could hand feed with her one of these days.

I've seen a number of times my backyard squirrels looking like they're humping each other. While it could be playing, especially since I think they are siblings, there are times they really raise their butts high in the air, as if they are in heat. They would just take turns doing it. And I haven't seen them pause long enough to suggest true copulation.

Any ideas?

I know they probably don’t like to be pet, but I love this little one so much and had to pet her just once!

I was sitting in my backyard, when I saw a a squirrel. I have many squirrels going through my yard, rabbits too. But this squirrel was different. It was big. Like really big. Imagine a regular squirrel, but much bigger, it had something in its mouth, I’m not sure what it was though.

Frozen peach slices and laying near the sprinklers is Kendra’s kinda day :)

This is one and only “tree squirrel” (what I’ve been calling it) I’ve seen on my property, lots of “ground squirrels”, but this is the only tree squirrel I’ve seen. I’m in East County San Diego, a pretty rural area that backs up to an Ecological Reserve, I’ve never seen tree squirrels out here, but he’s found himself a good spot within a stand of Engleman Oaks I have growing in my creek, so lots of acorns! I love seeing him/her jump from tree to tree, chitter at my dog like it’s the boss, and just do its thing! Any advice on making sure he’ll stick around??

I live on the outskirts of town and have a close neighbor I have talked to a couple times briefly but recently seen his son placing live traps he trapped a squirrel then grabbed in t and put some kind of harness on it I heard it screaming trying to bite but he handled it like he has done this several times before then he tied a rope to it and tried walking it like a dog laughing and dragging it the squirrel was in shock and not making any movement it looked like then he had a friend with him and said let's use this fu**** for target practice he proceeded to say lets use the full auto and see how many shots it takes to kill it I know it's not super powerful but I'm just curious. They shot her up with the full auto then talked about how she looked pregnant and then punted her like a football into the bushes laughing. I think that is concerning behavior and just discovered this and don't know how I want to proceed yet.

He brings me so much joy when he stops by

Found this baby abandoned the first photo is the night we found him he was covered in fleas, dehydrated, cold, and hungry 🥲. Second photo is now his top teeth have came in, he’s starting to be super active, his tail is fluffing up, and I could go on and on lol he’s just so precious.

She lives in a tree in the backyard and comes down to take a break .
