This very plump squirrel kept scaring all the birds away and his reasoning was very clear. \u00a0He wanted all the food for himself! Squirrels are marvelous thieves.\u00a0Those of us that have bird feeders around our home struggle with keeping the critters out of the feeders. I&#8217;ve tried many methods and I notice that no matter what I try they seem to figure out ways around them. I recently caught one hanging from the kitchen window screen&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Fox squirrels like to spend most of their time playing and feeding on the ground. They are also agile climbers and like to hop around tree tops. Fox squirrels make good jumpers. They have the ability to leap horizontally for around 15 feet or descend to a lower ground from a height of 20 feet or more.<\/p>\n<p>Their prime activities during a day include feeding, gathering and storing of food. These squirrels are diurnal; which means that they are active during the day and sleep at night. They are also quite non-territorial. When they intend to threaten and scare off another fox squirrel, they stand upright and shake their upward-pointed tail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5765\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5765\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/20151217-Pedernales-Falls-Birding-121.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5765\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5765\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/plump\/fox-squirrel\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/20151217-Pedernales-Falls-Birding-121.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
