Squirrel Appreciation Day When : Always January 21st Squirrel Appreciation Day is an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate your tree climbing, nut gathering neighborhood squirrels. It's held in mid-winter when food sources are scarce for squirrels and other wildlife. Sure, squirrels spent all fall gathering and "squirreling " away food. But, their supplies may not be enough. And, the variety of food is limited. So, give them an extra special treat today to supplement their winter diets. Not everyone likes squirrels. While they are fun to watch skirting around the yard and trees, they are aggressive at bird feeders. Squirrels tip almost any bird feeder and spill the seeds in search of the particular seeds they want. In the fall, they attack pumpkins on front porches in search of the seeds inside. For gardeners they dig up and steal flower bulbs, and may eat some of the veggies in your garden. When you think about it, mid winter is the best time to appreciate squirrels. In the winter they provide a little entertainment. During other times of the year, you may look at them as a pest in the flower and vegetable gardens.

I love squirrels! Wish they would be happy with a separate feeder from the birds at my house, but they know gourmet when they see it. TFTC!

I like squirrels, they're so cute. I especially like the black ones. But I do not like them digging up all my potted plants/flowers at home!

Perhaps the gray squirrel pictured is more appreciable than the red fox squirrels bedeviling my bird feeder. Somehow the container survived being upside down in the mud. TFTC

JC and I came up from the Springs to do some park and grabs on this hot July day, being motivated by the new Hidden Creatures Challenge. We live in the black forest and have bird feeders out that are shared by the birds, squirrels, the occasional raccoon, and once or twice, a bear. We gave up trying to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeders years ago! They are fun to watch...I especially like the black tufted ear ones. TFTC
