This little guy was hiding in my back yard yesterday. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I love to watch hang in the trees and jump from branch to branch. But, I was not very happy with them last fall when they dug up my flower bulbs.Fun fact about gray squirrels. They can hide 25 nuts in a half an hour and later find roughly 80 percent of those it buried. Hunters will sometimes trick a gray squirrel into showing itself by clicking two quarters together, which makes a squirrel-like sound. Please check other fact on gray squirrels from the Minnesota DNR here.
Today is also Outdoor Wednesday. Thanks to our host Susan at a Southern Daydreamer. Please check out the others here.

They are smart little critters, but I'm still not a fan. Although I luv to watch them in the woods, at the park or in a neighbor's yard.
One made its way into our attic several years back. That did it for me.
Cute photo and fun information in your post.

How "cute" is that squirrel. But they dig holes in our grass and Spring comes along and it is seeding time again. Sigh.

Squirrels are cute to watch, but they dig up my yard all the time. I have way too many, but not the heart to hurt them. You were lucky to get this shot, as they are so skittish and fast.
There seemed to be a lot of squirrel pictures today. They are so unique.
What a cute little squirrel. We have lots of squirrels around too. They're cute to watch. I have a love/hate relation ship with chipmunks. They're cute, but they like to chew things.
I, too have a love/hate relationship with squirrels. They are so cute until they try to bury their nuts in my outdoor upholstery. Or my flower bed. -Delores
They are fun to watch. They love to tease my cats who sit in our picture window sunning themselves.
I viewed a few of your previous posts and you have some great shots of birds. I love cardinals and you did a great job getting shots of them. Have you seen the female lately?

Jeff, Ricky, and Ci also have a love hate relationship with squirrels : )

I haven't seen the female in about a week. We have had some bad weather here, so I hope she is staying under shelter.
I know what you mean about having a love/hate relationship with squirrels. I have been posting lots of photos of them, too. My daughter-in-law has been bringing lots of acorns over from when she swept them up this fall. I hope the ground is frozen enough that they won't try to bury them, or I will have them doing way more digging than normal.
