Description
An eastern gray squirrel eating a sunflower head on top of a wood structure. I had noticed this squirrel in the sunflower plants earlier. I did not realize it had grabbed a whole sunflower head. I watched it for several minutes eat it like it was corn on the cob and even took a few seconds of video.
Squirrels are omnivores and their diet includes fungi, seeds, nuts, fruit, eggs, small insects and caterpillars. Squirrels have also adapted to eat food they find in human habitats like birdseed, cereals, pet food, cheese, and trash.
