How should you celebrate this most momentous of national holidays? Here are some ideas to get you started.

1. Play a game of eye spy squirrels. You get a point for every squirrel you spot… the game could go on forever, especially if the squirrels in your neighborhood look pretty much the same.

2. Hang squirrel feeders. A few years ago, we stopped feeding the birds because the squirrels were always eating the food. So then we decided just to feed the squirrels instead and quickly found that the birds like squirrel food too. Everyone was happy!

3. Build a squirrel obstacle course.

4. Take photos of the squirrels in your neighborhood and share them with the National Wildlife Federation’s Wildlife Watch.

Whatever you choose to do, have a great time with your squirrel friends today!
