If you want to have some fun with squirrels try this trick!  If you have a deck and a fishing pole and some peanuts in a shell you'll be set.  Tie the peanut to the fishing line (make sure there are no hooks or anchors on the line) and using the fishing pole, dangle it over the edge of your deck, the squirrels love it, and it can provide hours of entertainment to watch them go after the peanut.

Activity

Squirrels are most active in the winter when the mating season begins.  Babies are then born in the early spring; a second litter can occur in mid-summer.

They are most active 2-3 hours after sunrise and 2 hours before sunset.  Squirrels do sleep at night.
