National Squirrel Appreciation Day January 21st

Did you know January 21st was National Squirrel Appreciation Day?  It was created by wildlife rehabilitator Christy Hargrove of Asheville, North Carolina.  If you forgot to celebrate, you still can. 

If you love them or you hate them, they are undeniably very cool mammals.  Here are a few fun facts about our backyard friends:

- There are over 300 squirrel species throughout the world. 

- The smallest squirrel is but 5 inches (the African pygmy) and the largest gets up to 3 feet (the Indian giant squirrel).

- When a squirrel burries its food, it tries to confuse possible thiefs by "pretending" to bury it a few times before it actually burries it.  

Celebrate these animals! Check out our Squirrel Lover's category (found in the Popular category on our Products page). From Food to fun Feeders and Gift items featuring our furry friends, our selection might surprise you.

 

December Hummingbird

These photos of a Rufus Hummingbird on the Dr JB feeder, and another Hummingbird feeder, come to us from Debra Nelson Luraas at Viewfinder, LLC in Rocheport, Missouri.  "Here are some images of the December Hummingbird which continues to visit the feeder every day, usually by 8:30 AM."  Thank you, Debra!
