My friendship with a local squirrel has reached another level today. Pics and video

Named her Daisy. Been gaining her trust for weeks getting her to eat raw unsalted nuts out of my hand. She loves walnuts and pecans. She has no use for seeds apparently. When I freed her Brazil nuts she eats a little then digs a hole near her tree to save them for later.

Today another squirrel I have been feeding let me feed it by hand. Daisy got jealous and starting getting upset making her warning sound then chasing the other squirrel away. Right after that she let me pet her for the first time. Typical female!

She has a has a very distinctive ear with a split in it. It takes 5 to 10 minutes each day for her to come to me when I start calling. Sometimes she is a ways away I guess looking for food. Not sure if she has babies but one thing I know is she is looking healthier than she was when I first started feeding her.
