It should be noted that there are differences between ground squirrels and tree squirrels. The difference is fairly obvious, where ground squirrels when scared will run into a burrow or den, compared to a tree squirrel, that will run and climb a tree to avoid a predator or threat.

You can find ground squirrels being most active during the day. They do spend a great deal of their time underground in burrows where they sleep, store food, raise their young, and avoid danger and predators. When they dig their burrows, they will make unsightly mounds that can bury grass and small plants. Many homeowners and landscapers take great care to rid their property and projects of ground squirrels. These animals can hurt trees, bushes, shrubs, and vines because they will chew on them for food, causing further damage to property.

Do you squirrel hunt at least once a year?
