We have several types of squirrels around here. I think Suki was right and that little guy was a fox squirrel. We have red squirrels too and a few types of ground squirrels. There's nothing shy about any of them, but the tree dwellers are the cheekiest!

Lots of people around here don't like them either. They can be highly destructive. They rip up insulation, chew leather, ect. I used to have several squirrel feeders around until my neighbor told me that he was trapping the same squirrels I was feeding. They were destroying his riding equipment. They are considered vermin rodents legally and you can trap them just like a mouse. I think they are amusing little critters, cheap entertainment for me and the critters!
