This is our little neighbor that comes for her daily peanuts, unsalted of course. She is friendly and will take the nut gently from my fingers. She is very inquisitive. She will jump from the roof tops into the tree and rush down and wag her tail to get my attention. There are several squirrels, a pair of Scrub Jays and a flock of Magpies that come every morning for breakfast. This squirrel and the male Scrub jay (Sam) will tolerate each other and even hang out eating together. I have seen Sam pick at the squirrel and it seem s like they are playing at times. They always end up on the lawn eating only about 2 feet apart from one another. There are a few other squirrles that come, but none with this little girls personaility. She will bark at me to get my attention if I haven't noticed her, or the dogs are bothering her.
