Its January and that means lots of Squirrel activity. In Connecticut, we have three species of Squirrels. The Gray Squirrel, the Flying Squirrel (pictured on left) and the Red Squirrel. The most common are the Gray and flying and therefor the ones we deal with on a regular basis. The Flying Squirrel is a Nocturnal animal with a very healthy population this year.
Squirrels are now entering their breeding season and you will soon see the Grays chasing each other up and down trees.
An important factor in this winters Squirrel population is that there was almost no Acorn production this fall and certainly none left now in our area. This will force the Squirrels to find other food sources.
