Red squirrels get a bad rap. But I’ll admit their reputation is somewhat justifiable. They steal seed from bird feeders, ransack garden sheds, invade garages and bully grey squirrels. I’ve also noticed they get kind of mouthy during deer season, pealing off shrieks of staccato chirps while I try to sit quietly waiting for deer. I can only imagine how many times they’ve blown my cover.
