The food chain. Fisher vs Red Squirrel (prey) …wonder why the tail tip wasn’t eaten.

Mink and red squirrel is my guess.

red squirrel tail, fox scat

Re squirrel prey of fisher
February 28, 2018 at 8:43 am
Perhaps a fisher cat has dined on a red squirrel?

Re: the question of why the tail tip wasn’t eaten. I can’t answer that except to note that my cat never eats the tails of the flying squirrels that she kills.

Would be great to keep your cat indoors or on a leash for the sake of preserving native wildlife like flying squirrels, birds, and anything else cats kill. Pets get fed at home, they kill native wildlife for their own fun.

Red squirrel preyed on by weasel
February 28, 2018 at 9:27 am
It looks like something ate a flying squirrel, although the tail is smaller than I would have thought. Fisher?
February 28, 2018 at 9:38 am
Neither of them look like they had a very good day…

Ha! Thanks.

Fox and red squirrel.

Coyote ate a squirrel
February 28, 2018 at 12:47 pm
I think it is weasel scat and chipmunk tail.
February 28, 2018 at 2:52 pm
Weasel preyed on a skunk.

Hi Mary,Do you offer workshops with you as a guide? I’d be very interested. Your books live next to my bed and are read daily.I love your work.Rachel

Hi Rachel,
I have offered walks such as you suggest in my younger days. If I should resume doing so, I will definitely let you know!
March 2, 2018 at 2:31 pm
Weasel, squirrel
February 28, 2018 at 8:15 pm
My students say the prey is a red squirrel tail and the predator is a grey fox.
February 28, 2018 at 8:46 pm
Red squirrel got eaten by a mink or fisher, is my 5 year old sons guess 🙂
March 1, 2018 at 5:20 am
Fisher cat and melanic gray squirrel perhaps

Here in South Carolina I have just purchased your latest book, Yodel, for my grand daughter who runs children’s programs for the Greenville Library System. Yodel joins all the others that you have written and is eagerly received by the kids. Thank you Mary for your dedication to the natural world.
