Wow! My current generation of squirrels is a little weird too. They tend to "skip" instead of run and (I'm not complaining!!) are too lazy to jump on the bird feeder. Instead they come to the back door looking for me to see if I'll feed them. (And the answer is no, I do not.) Great cat-ch!
@olivetreeann That is funny! Unfortunately my squirrels still like to raid the bird feeder. My granddaughter hated the squirrels at LSU because they had gotten so used to students feeding them that they were often pretty aggressive.
