Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Meredith, I just saw your comment at my blog and MacBeth's Squirrel Project was the first place I was going to send you!

I don't know a lot about squirrels, but we have a lot of posts about squirrels on my blog (I should probably have a separate category for them by now ). Here are a few links:

His Ears Must Have Been Burning (cute squirrel poem)

Red Tail Returns (local red squirrel)

We Got Him! (caught the little red squirrel on video)

We Must be Squirrel Magnets (black squirrel)

I Just Can't Help It! (more pictures and squirrel food info.)

Squirrelpalooza Continues (Oh my gosh, I didn't realize how much I posted about squirrels! This is crazy. ) More pictures, more info. quotes from things)

More than You Need to Know about Squirrel Dreys (which actually came from my semi-retired garden blog)

I have two resources to recommend off the top of my head:

Small Wonders has a great section called "Chipmunks and their Cousins." (Cousins being groundhogs and squirrels.) We are using it for our Chipmunk study this month. I'm sure we will be unable to restrain ourselves from covering squirrels again.

Also, Rabbits, Squirrels and Chipmunks (Take-Along Guide) is great.

For picture books we liked:

Nuts to You!

Squirrels

Gray Squirrel at Pacific Avenue

and we even loved Woody, Hazel and Little Pip for featuring squirrels!

OK, I'll stop now! As you can tell we love squirrels around here. I know they can be a pest to some backyards, but ours are very well behaved.

It's a great time of year for a squirrel nature study! Have fun!!
