It seems to suit the animal.<br /><br />It must have been delightful for your daughters to meet 'Timmy' and to think that they will meet his relatives throughout their lives, what fun!Jennifer Larnder Gagnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768316885351756342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576541446527297822.post-40651306364592427802013-02-26T18:41:13.936-08:002013-02-26T18:41:13.936-08:00Tammy, I wonder what the 'locals' are like...Tammy, I wonder what the 'locals' are like in each of our areas.

When we read about the Albert squirrel in our Burgess Book of Animals, we only got to watch them in a You Tube video.<br /><br />The word squirrel sounds fascinating to me, a learner of English as a second language (now a second adopted mother tongue).<br /><br />My daughters befriended and adopted one at our last camping trip, Timmy. They pledged to call all other squirrels Timmy, after all, they will be relatives, they said. They fed Timmy a peanut from their hands.Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576541446527297822.post-35017655834357745062013-02-26T05:14:35.957-08:002013-02-26T05:14:35.957-08:00"Sits in the shadow of his tail"! What a..."Sits in the shadow of his tail"! What a much lovelier name!<br /><br />Two thoughts: Pamela still talks about a squirrel that lives down the street. It has no tail! We've sometimes wondered how it lost its tail.<br /><br />There are truly black squirrels. They are called Abert squirrels and they live in ponderosa pines in the Rockies. I loved watching them when we lived in Colorado.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576541446527297822.post-61567382323384815642013-02-25T09:38:09.140-08:002013-02-25T09:38:09.140-08:00Ooh!

You've provided inspiration for a nature notebook entry AND a book recommendation. We've been spending a lot of time watching grey squirrels perform amazing acrobatic feats at our bird feeder. One did a perfect somersault around a tree branch. I can't wait to read more about them. Sandy Rusby Bellnoreply@blogger.com
