Squirrel Appreciation Day is celebrated every January 21 since 2001, thanks to Christy Hargove of Asheville, North Carolina. (Interestingly, there is also a National Squirrel Appreciation Week October 7-13). She was working at a local Wildlife Rehabilitation and Rescue Center when she founded this cause.
So I'll share my photos and videos of squirrels, from a Wildlife Rehab and Rescue Center in my neck of the woods.
