Squirrel Appreciation Day

Squirrel Appreciation Day was a few days ago. I didn’t know this fact at the time of my wordless wednesday preparation. Surely I would have prepareda two-for-one post. But anyway, I decided I could still celebrate squirrel appreciation post-hoc and share some really great photos and videos with you over the next couple of days.
Squirrel Appreciation Day is celebrated every January 21 since 2001, thanks to Christy Hargove of Asheville, North Carolina. (Interestingly, there is also a National Squirrel Appreciation Week, October 7-13). Christy was working at a local Wildlife Rehabilitation and Rescue Center when she founded this cause.
So I’ll share my photos and videos of squirrels, from a Wildlife Rehab and Rescue Center in my neck of the woods.
