Build it and they will come

One of my surprising observations of this new habitat was the absence of squirrels. There were large trees and plenty of food sources for them, but apparently the trees were just too far away. All summer and fall I saw rabbits, a variety birds, and the occaisional odd mammal, but no squirrels. I sort of missed them - the Fox Squirrels we see around here are much bigger than the Eastern Gray Squirrels that we saw so much of in Virginia, but they have the same personality, behavior, and cute looks.

I'm happy (I think) to say that I can now add squirrels to my list of wildlife observed at Wrenaissance. In the time honored fashion of many a naturalist before me, I put up bird feeders. Need I say more?
