Black Squirrel

This is a picture that I have recently found among our Canada things.  It is from the door of our cabin showing one of the daily visitors that we get to see when we are up there.   Where I live, there are no black squirrels, so it is interesting to see them when we are on vacation.  We usually give them small scraps of food that we have, whether it is chocolate, or bread, or a few peanuts.  When I was younger, we would take play-doh along with for some fun.  Usually we would sit outside on a picnic table when we had it out, and we tried to clean as much of it up as possible.  This was when we learned that squirrels also love play-doh.  In fact, they might have enjoyed it even more than we did.  We would always get a kick out of seeing them roll it around on the table, dragging it up a tree with them, or even eating it.  We would devote extended amounts of time, even hours just watching to see what the squirrels would do next.  They are especially active when we cook our food outside on the grill, and they know they can expect a good meal from us.
