The pattern will be released in three parts over the course of three issues in the digital magazine I Like Crochet (accessible through subscription). The first part covers crocheting the background including the tree. In the second part, we crochet the birds. And in the final installment, I go over how to crochet the squirrel and flowers and finish the assembly.
Next you need to cook the squirrels until the meat falls off of the bones. I like to use a pressure cooker for this, and you can place the squirrels along with the pan juices into one for 20 minutes (high pressure). You can do this on the stovetop in liquid as well but it takes a lot longer.
Now you can dump or spoon the squirrel mixture into the pie and top it with the other crust. Trim the edges with a paring knife and do your best to seal them. Ice water between the layers works well as glue here too. I like to seal them together with the tip of a fork. Cut some vent holes in the top and put it in the oven! Bake at 425F for 30-40 minutes. You want it to get golden brown, but the edges may brown too quickly so near the 20 minute mark you can cover the crust edge with strips of foil.
The inquisitive red squirrels are one of Scotland's favourite mammals but it is declining in numbers and is classified as an endangered species. We are lucky to have several scurries of squirrels and you can watch them feeding throughout the year.
At Ohio University, there might be one animal* that's more famous than Rufus himself: our iconic College Green squirrels. Our squirrels can be seen living their best lives under the Elms and Oaks of College Green, chittering and throwing the occasional acorn at passers-by. And tragically, these squirrels have had to live without the majesty of individual names. That ends today!
The Big Cypress fox squirrel is a large member of the Genus Sciurus that can reach a length of 17-27 inches (45-69 centimeters) and a weight of one to three pounds (0.5 to 1.4 kilograms). This species has a black head and back fur with buff sides and belly, white ears and nose, and a long bushy black/tan tail (Florida Natural Areas Inventory 2001, M. Tucker pers. comm. 2011).
There is little information known about this subspecies due to their limited range, secretive nature, and reluctance to be captured, therefore much of the information available for Big Cypress fox squirrels is based on fox squirrels in general.
Big Cypress fox squirrels are polygamist (both males and females mate with more than one individual). Breeding can occur at any time of the year but most breeding occurs between November and February, and April and July. Females go into estrus (heat) for only one day during which several males pursue receptive females, with dominant males mating first. Average gestation time for a fox squirrel is 44 days and the average litter size is one or three offspring. Females can become sexually mature at eight months of age, but rarely reproduce until they are over one year old. Females can continue breeding for more than 12 years (Koprowski 1994).
The Big Cypress fox squirrel is primarily a ground-dwelling species that inhabits stands of cypress, slash pine savanna, mangrove swamps, tropical hardwood forests, live oak woods, coastal broadleaf evergreen hammocks, and suburban habitats including golf courses, city parks, and residential areas (Hafner et al. 1998; Humphrey and Jodice 1992; Jansen 2008; Munim et al. 2007; Williams and Humprey 1979). This species can be found in the southwestern tip of Peninsular Florida, in Hendry and Lee counties south of the Caloosahatchee River, Collier County, mainland northern Monroe County, and extreme western Miami-Dade County (a strip of land that is largely in Big Cypress National Preserve) (Williams and Humphrey 1979; Moore 1956; see summary in USFWS 2002).
Big Cypress fox squirrels face considerable threats to their population as their habitat is destroyed and fragmented by increased development. In Hendry County, they face additional threats due to conversion of rangeland to citrus groves, and the suppression of fire which causes the understory to grow and make the habitat uninhabitable (Ditgen and Shepherd 2007). Diseases like the Squirrel Poxvirus also pose a threat to Big Cypress fox squirrel. This virulent disease causes death in 75-100% of infected squirrels (National Park Service 2010).

Both gray and fox squirrels can be found throughout Georgia. The gray squirrel, abundant in both rural and urban areas, is most common. Though mostly associated with hardwood forests, grays also can be found in mixed pine/hardwood forests. Predominantly gray, with white under parts, gray squirrels appear more slender-bodied than fox squirrels, weighing anywhere from 12 ounces to 1.5 pounds. Fox squirrels have several color phases, varying from silver-gray with a predominantly black head, to solid black, to a light buff or brown color tinged with reddish-yellow. Generally larger than grays, fox squirrels range in weight from one pound to nearly three, and are more closely associated with mature pine and mixed pine/hardwood habitats, and especially in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions.

Use kitchen shears to snip off the ribs. Save for stock. Now you want to portion out the backstrap. A big squirrel might give you two pieces, but most are just one. You can either use your shears for this, although it requires a bit of strength, or you can use a cleaver and whack it into pieces. One thing you definitely want to do is chop off the hips and the neck portions, as there is not much meat there; again, save these bits for stock.
My dad used to clean squirrel just as you describe, but left the tail on to use as leverage when pulling the skin off the back. He hunted small game for food all his life with his father and brothers in Ohio, West Virginia, and Indiana and I loved it. My mother made squirrel fricassee in a pressure cooker, served with homemade rolls and squirrel gravy.
Thanks, ate many a squirrel with my dad by my side. He was an old Italian who grew up eating wild game, hunting, gathering, gardening, making spirits. He grew up in the depression and taught me that if your hungry you can live on almost anything.
Oberlin's new albino squirrel mascot had an early orientation of Oberlin over the summer of 2019 and official earned its name of Yeobie on October 5, 2019 during halftime of the homecoming football game. There were 397 total naming submissions with the top six going up for a nationwide selection that featured 868 total votes. The name of Yeobie was first submitted by Elo Kelkar, the mother of former volleyball player, Emily Kelkar.
In the decades preceding and following the listing of the West Virginia northern flying squirrel, protection and restoration efforts were able to bring the red spruce-northern hardwood forest habitat back to more than 173,000 acres in West Virginia.
As a result, the five-year report finds that the squirrel remains well distributed across all seven core areas and continues to be found at new, expanded and historical sites, with long-term potential for a slowly growing population, as hoped for.
With partners exceeding their restoration goals in the first five years following delisting, the future does look brighter than ever for the West Virginia northern flying squirrel. West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) has been monitoring the squirrel since 1985, using nest box checks, live captures, radio-telemetry and, most recently, acoustics. As time has gone on, they have adapted their methods to reflect changing needs and to incorporate new technologies.
Sweet-toothed Abert's
In early spring, just as the sap begins to flow in the trees, Abert's squirrel have an interesting addition to their diets. You can often spot an Abert's squirrel clinging to the side of a boxelder tree licking the bark, and the gooey sap below, with their tongue. Boxelder trees are members of the maple family, and have a sweet sap similar to maple syrup. Abert's Squirrels may have developed a sweet tooth by eating this high-energy treat, if only for a short period in the early spring.
A Summer Coat
In summer, Abert's Squirrels shed their distinctive tasseled ears and their thick winter coat. Since an Abert's ears are still somewhat larger than other squirrel's ears, they still have a very unique appearance. When baby Abert's Squirrels emerge from the nest in late summer, they can easily be distinguished from their parents because they will already have the ear tufts they will continue to wear through the long winter months.
The Delmarva fox squirrel has physical similarities to the common gray squirrel. It has a silver-gray coat, short rounded ears and whitish feet. Where the Delmarva fox squirrel sets itself apart is in its size. It can grow up to 30 inches long, weigh up to 3 pounds and its bushy tail can reach 15 inches in length. Delmarva fox squirrels are one of the 10 recognized subspecies of fox squirrels, which are the largest tree squirrels in the western hemisphere. The Delmarva fox squirrel was federally listed as an endangered species in 1967, but thanks to conservation efforts, it was removed in December 2015.
