The eastern gray squirrel, a member of the Rodent family, is the most frequently seen mammal in the area. They live anywhere there are large deciduous trees. They have two litters a year, spring and summer, with two to three young in each litter. They live about five years and grow to 17-20 inches long. As a backyard friend, they can sometimes be a bit of a nusiance when they eat the seed from birdfeeders, dig up flower bulbs, and steal garden vegetables.

The eastern gray squirrel eats a variety of foods such as nuts, seeds, bark, fruit, flowers, insects, baby birds, bird eggs, amphibians, and sometimes they even eat each other. They often bury their food in various locations near the surface of the ground. In the winter, when food is scarce, they use their sense of smell to find the hidden food.
The squirrel's greatest tool is its tail. They use their tails for balance, shade, umbrellas, blankets, and a rudder when swimming. Their predators are hawks, owls, red fox, raccoons, snakes and humans.
