Ha, well, yes, Amy. In Florida they were quite aggressive. In the park where this fellow lives I would be eating my lunch and they might jump up on the bench and table beside me even when I had nothing to offer.

Amazing! Squirrels run from us here. Must be a different breed of squirrels perhaps? I dunno!

They are very Pavlovian. Near populated areas where wildlife is fed often, they are less timid. Most of my Florida bird photos were shot within cities and often in parking lots. They are comfortable with their level of protection there. In heavily wooded areas with less human interaction and sometimes hunting is allowed, they will be more elusive. That’s my take on it from observing over our years of moving around.

Thanks Peter. Do you have regular garden variety squirrels there or is it more like just ground dwellers such as Meerkats?

If there ever were, they have all been killed or driven away as people clear land for roads, farms, and real estates. We have to go to the National Parks to see the animals.

Progress and commerce. Ruthless killers of nature. 😕

The cost of human progress is too much. Perhaps more effort should have been made in building human relationships. Good relationships between people always ends up being good for the environment. But the world leaders, who are in control of the earth’s resources, only seem to invest more and more in destroying people and creating divisions among them, denying people justice, etc, all of which end up leaving people feel disconnected, desperate, and alone. This is really bad for the environment. Somebody could set a forest on fire without a care, and if there is a 100,000-year old tree standing between him and some money, he will not hesitate even for a moment to cut it down. The world we live in now is bad for life itself.

I agree on all counts.I am certain many forest fires are no accidental but either deliberate (especially in this country’s political climate) or complete ignorance of potential disaster, ie cigarette butts, campfires, etc.
