Where are all the squirrels?
Posted By admin on January 8, 2010
It is winter here in Vermont and the squirrels are not out and about as they usually are. You see a few squirrels during the day time crossing streets but for the most part all of the squirrels are huddled up in tree nests trying to keep warm. Squirrels do not hibernate like bears do. Squirrels, like humans just don’t like the cold and try to stay warm for most of the winter. Squirrels are more inactive in the winter months in order to preserve energy…does that make sense? so why are squirrels gathering acorns all fall? I would think to eat during the winter months when food is scarce.
