Ireland has squirrels but no snakes.
Now we know why.

The 2007 survey of Irish squirrel populations noted that the invasive grey squirrels have continued to spread to the north, east and south of their previous recorded range. This project aims to investigate the population dynamics and demographics of grey squirrels at the edge of their invasion frontier. This information will be used to model future range expansion of grey squirrels in Ireland. The model will complete the picture of grey squirrel invasion in Europe and will help to explain why the grey squirrel invasion in Ireland has moved more slowly than in other countries where the grey squirrel has also been introduced (e.g. the UK). This project links in well with ongoing red and grey squirrel research in the Mammal Ecology Group and elsewhere in Europe and will be able to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of species invasions at the range frontier.

Yeah, it is not uncommon, especially during winter for a squirrel to jump on a bird. I've seen a 'cute' little gray squirrel[tree rat] jump on a cardinal and eat thru his head like a peanut.

Flying squirrels will often raid bird nests and eat young birds and eggs...yum yum...

A neighbor told me of watching an Eastern Chipmunk eating a green garden snake. All small rodents such as chipmunks and squirrels will eat baby birds in the nest. Red Squirrels are particularly destructive.

Are you sure? Have you ever offered them fresh meat?

I’m quite fond of the Guadalupe Mountains . . . although they never respond to my Juneteenth cards.

It’s a beautiful place, in an empty way.

Those squirrels are only found in Texas and Moundhouse.
