Field Notes

Description:

active in the daytime, we've seen them eating our pecans, acorns, tree flower buds, hickory nuts, tomatoes, fungi; often digging holes in our soft garden soil to store their nuts for winter; they are vary adaptable to our urban neighborhood and very determined to get to our bird feeders for seed

Habitat:

schoolyard with many Oak trees, we see their nests of twigs and branches in our trees

Notes:

Our North Carolina state mammal; some people eat them and many consider them pests
