Adorable! Boise Shooters has a lengthy pedigree of squirrel stories. Most call them tree rats. Some of us think they're cute.

I bribe our squirrels with old crackers or bread so they'll stop trying to steal birdseed from our “squirrel-proof” bird feeder. I lay them out on the deck rail right outside the breakfast room window and they'll sit there and eat the crackers holding them with both hands (paws) turning them around as they nibble away. Our cat, Beaux, loves to watch them through the shutters and he “chirps” at them as they run around. We also keep large flat plastic dishes on plant stands filled with clean, every day changed, water and they as well as the birds love to drink and/or bath in it. Quite a neat show while having the morning coffee.

Actually they are extraterrestrials. Those nests that they make way up in the tree in winter are portals for them to do to the mother ship. Think about it. They go in, but do you ever see one come out?
