Subject: All The Crazy Things That Squirrels Eat...

Hey!


I just published a new article about squirrel diets including some pretty crazy and surprising items like bird eggs and maple sap.


I also included a video showing how squirrels harvest and consume maple sap (which is happening right now in many places).


Check it out here!

One of the big tricks to understanding squirrels is to interpret their relationship with food.


Whether you just love squirrels, or if you’re more interested in tracking the wild predators that prey on them… here are some of the deeper lessons that squirrel diets can tell you:

  • How to predict which squirrel species is present in a forest by vegetation patterns.

  • Why territorial behavior (or lack thereof) in squirrels largely comes down to diet.

  • Major differences in food strategies by tree squirrels compared with ground squirrels.

  • How squirrels change their diets in different seasons.

It’s amazing how much appreciation we can gain for squirrels and their place in nature by looking a bit closer at what they’re eating.


And the best part is squirrel watching is so darn accessible even right in your own backyard!
