Deer and red squirrels can sometimes be spotted in the wooded valley behind the farm or on the road leading to us.
Red squirrels, and sometimes gray squirrels, can become a serious menace to bird houses and the birds themselves.
Red and gray squirrels can jump about 20 feet - not bad considering their size!

The squirrels are gathering nuts and the birds are feeding from the abundance of red berries that adorn the trees and shrubs around the Pinetum's valleys.

The red squirrels are still knocking them down, and they make quite a thud or bong depending on which canoe they land.
The red squirrels and the gray squirrels both have eyes on the side of their head, like all vegetable eaters do.
Red Squirrels also eat the creeper food but I find that if you spread it thinly on the tree trunk, it's more difficult for the squirrels to get.

Red Squirrels invite themselves to dinner from the bird tables on most days.
Red squirrels are still seen from time to time, but less frequently as the number of houses grows.
