My wife has been feeding the birds and squirrels in our backyard since the start of the pandemic, but this little girl is the first one to feel comfortable enough to let us get close to her.
This little squirrel, who my wife has named Baby, lives in the tree in our backyard. Today, she took a peanut directly from my wife's hand. I don't mean that she snatched it and ran away either. She took the peanut as gently as Harvey takes a puppy treat when we give it to him, which is pretty damned gentle!
Long story short, you're probably going to see a lot more squirrel photos on here going forward.
