Wimpy Florida Squirrels Think 38 Degrees is Too Cold!
Its been one of the warmest winters in central Florida that I can remember, but we had a brief cold spell last weekend (February 17-18th). There was even a bit of ice in the birdbaths on the morning of the 18th. Our resident squirrels seemed to be in shock last Sunday morning (February 17th) when the mercury dipped to a brutal 38 degrees! They spent several hours basking in the morning sun and stretching before being able to set about on their "busy" day. At one point there were 7 squirrels visible at once sitting out in the sun. The cold spell was short-lived and record heat returned this weekend (February 23-24). I'll discuss the heat in the next post.
