Eastern Grey Squirrel
Like many members of the family Sciuridae, the eastern gray squirrel is a scatter-hoarder; it hoards food in numerous small caches for later recovery.[2] Some caches are quite temporary, especially those made near the site of a sudden abundance of food which can be retrieved within hours or days for reburial in a more secure site. Others are more permanent and are not retrieved until months later. Each squirrel is estimated to make several thousand caches each season.

The grey squirrels here in the north are bigger than the ones we have in Florida and many tend to have rufous coloration in their fur

Virginia Creeper and Poison Ivy can look alike.  If you can’t remember the ole “Leaves of three, Leave it be," always note that the center stem is longer than the two side stems
