Attention, urban rodent fans ? On Saturday, an army of volunteers fanned out across the 840 acres of New York City’s Central Park in search of the Eastern gray squirrel. They were conducting what purports to be the first-ever comprehensive Central Park squirrel census. The census, which will take 2 weeks, is the brainchild of Jamie Allen, who led a similar census in 2012. He says squirrel data is limited, but can teach us a lot about the animals’ behavior. For example, a few years ago, research showed some squirrels pretend to bury nuts and sort them by size, type and possibly nutritional value. That’s why sighters in Central Park aren’t just counting squirrels. They’re tallying their activities, coat color and vocalizations as well. Their results will be published next spring. @vincenttullo took this photo of a squirrel eating in #CentralPark. Visit the link in our profile to read more.
