The White-tailed Antelope Squirrel , sometimes referred to as the White-tailed Ground Squirrel or the Antelope Chipmunk , is the rare diurnal mammal in the deserts of the southwestern United States.

There are bird feeders and then there are squirrel feeders disguised as bird feeders, a fact known well by those of us who have committed a part of our lives to our yard birds. And, I learned that wherever you have bird feeders, you also have squirrels. Persistent, greedy, clever squirrels who will rob you and your birds of all seed.

Ahead of the first trip, I wasn’t thinking much about mammals, and yet, you cannot miss them, from Nilgais near villages to Indian Flying Foxes in town centres, not to mention those ubiquitous and irresistibly cute Palm Squirrels eating seeds left for parakeets. On that first trip, I even saw some of the last 500 (Asiatic) Lions !

Recent studies in Sri Lanka have revealed that, upon sighting a predator, a drongo will imitate the alarm calls of at least 4 other bird species (babblers, laughing thrushes, bulbuls, and others), as well as the call given by the specific predator, i.e. a giant squirrel or eagle.

A Palm Squirrel and a Shikra agreed to a halt in hostilities for the day. The Purple Sunbird is an elegant example of it’s family.

Why not squirrels or racoons or butterflies? Many researchers also take advantage of the fact that a huge proportion of the data on eBird is collected just as a scientist would collect it, keeping track of the time spend or distance covered for each checklist. I thank her for the response, which, lightly edited, is below.

Nearing the village, I reach a pastureland dotted with lovely Sousliks (or European ground squirrels), some of them busy eating, others playfully chasing each other, while third ones are standing on their hind legs and observing the sky – they know why. Skylarking (or singing in mid-air) is a local slang for having sex.
