NYTimes on squirrels in England....   Message List

Re: [WorthleyBotany] NYTimes on squirrels in England....

A neighbor of mine, originally from Louisiana, once shared some squirrel gumbo with us.  It was quite tasty.  Of course, that was the summer a squirrel threw a half-eaten tomato at his wife's head, and watched me cover and uncover my strawberries with netting to find out how to get in - and ate all my strawberries.  Hard to say whether those experiences flavored the gumbo.

He claimed he'd gone squirrel hunting on the Eastern Shore, not at home where it's illegal due to the density of the human population, but we always wondered....

On a more scientific note, I believe squirrels compete with white-footed mice (the alternate host for Lyme disease) for acorns and nuts.  That means that reducing the squirrel population can lead to an explosion of mice, deer ticks, and Lyme disease.  There are no easy solutions to environmental problems.
