When playing Heron or Pelican, sometimes the monkey like squirrels would come down and pillage a snack if you forgot to take it out of your golf cart. They are fast and devious fellows and a different breed from our Ohio ones.
We are renting a home north of 466 and for the last couple of days we have seen GROUPS of squirrels running across the back yard in the same direction each time, back and forth in a group. This is very interesting to our cat Mikey who is sitting with his ears perked all day looking out the window.
I thought last night I was going to have to put an ice compress on his little brow, he had been so excited all day.
These squirrels are little ones and I can't tell if they are babies or just the size they are supposed to be, but they are acting groupy, which I have never seen before.
So tell me about the squirrels that you know.
Pooh? If you have as many as we do, you certainly are aware of their presence.

When we first moved into this home that we are presently in, it had nothing but woods and wild flowers across the road.......and each end of summer into autumn the squirrels would "go crazy" literally and run back and forth as you describe...........the rest of the year they seem to be quieter. However, even squirrels can carry rabies as we had a case not too long ago in town where it bit a person who had been feeding it. Right now our chipmunks are multiplying.....but they are cute to observe.
