A new visitor

[question everything]

So far the regular greys are not happy but he (she?) keeps coming every morning.

1. Is this at your place?

I'd be tempted to report it to people with an interest in squirrels, but would worry about folks trying to catch it, or worse.

[question everything]

2. Yes, it is. We feed the squirrels in our yard and many come to visit

and this guy (gal) started showing a few days ago.

Not sure who are the people interested in squirrels. We certainly are..

This guy has been building a pile of cones right outside our dining room windwo



And once snow started he carried them into a tunnel a few feet away.

Red squirrels cannot hop on snow so they build tunnels.

3. we have grey squirrels on our deck every day

House has trees all around it, so lots of birds, squirrels show up at the feeders.
It's been very educational.

Last year was the first time we found out about bot fly and the poor squirrels.

4. The town my grandfather grew up in is know as the "Home of the White Squirrel"

Because there are so many that are found in the town.

Love this picture of your visitor!

[question everything]

5. I am curious: where is that town?

The albino gene is a recessive one..

It's a very rural town in the north west corner of the state.

7. Wow! We have lots of squirrels, but I've never seen one like this

Do the other squirrels have issues with this one? That would be sad. I'd probably give this one special treatment...
