I spotted this cutie today, but I just noticed its nicked ear. Inspired by @gardenfolk and @bjywamer, who have named their regular squirrel visitors, I've decided to name this cutie "Nicker" (short for "Nicked Ear")
@ingrid01 Hi Ingrid! Thank you, and how amazing that your grandparents could recognize their regular bird visitors and then gave them names! Very cool!
@bjywamer Hi Barb! Thank you, and yes this is a gray squirrel. We also have *a lot of* black squirrels, and they tend to be smaller. Are yours black squirrels?
How cute is this squirrel! I had a visiting squirrel a few years ago with a funny ear so I named him Van Gogh and one with a scar on his face named Mr. Grey. Hard to name if no identifying markings. Fav. Love the name Nicker! :)
