Description
An eastern gray squirrel out in the middle of the yard surveying the area to see if there is any food out. It comes to the bird feeders a couple of times a week. It is the only squirrel I have seen in the neighborhood and sometimes I won't see it for 4 even 5 days. It's a very curious squirrel who just eats off the ground and does not climb on my feeders which I find very surprising.
Gray squirrels are common in rural, suburban, and urban woodlots. Their populations are regulated by availability of suitable habitat and abundance of mast (tree nuts). They are the most common and frequently observed of North Carolina’s five tree squirrel species. The gray squirrel is found in every county and was adopted as the state mammal in 1969. Gray squirrels are enjoyed by wildlife-watchers and hunters alike.
