      The notch where they are lying holds water. I use a mist spray and today (103 degrees) one squirrel peeked out and grinned. Squirrel of my dreams! Posted one year ago

        That's awesome! It's been really hot here too, but I heard that your area is experiencing even more brutal temps. Hope you get some relief soon! Posted one year ago

The Fox squirrel

The fox squirrel, also known as the eastern fox squirrel or Bryant's fox squirrel, is the largest species of tree squirrel native to North America. Despite the differences in size and coloration, they are sometimes mistaken for American Red Squirrels or Eastern Gray Squirrels in areas where both species co-exist.
