      Before I became interested in squirrels I used to think that black squirrels were common all over North America. Now I found out that they are not as common as I thought they were. We also have a lot of them here in Ontario, Canada. I love the little guys. I feed them walnuts in my backyard and local park. :)

    I've left a bag of cotton balls out during the fall a few years ago. The birds and squirrels took them. They seem to know how to insulate their nests when they build. I didn't know this and just went on a hunch when I saw a squirrel with a small piece of trash paper in it's mouth going up a tree. Wild life is amazing how they just know how to use their environment.

    Love the interesting facts about squirrels in the cold weather, their bodies are amazing! They definitely stay longer in this crappy weather to eat as much as they can instead of taking one nut and running off. We had a noreaster here, I do not like the snow and cold. 😩 After the storm was over, my bf put our little squirrel house back outside with nuts and they are still making the trip to come and eat.
