The Sentinel

Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day!

 

Squirrels, no matter the specific species, are pretty much in most wildlife's food chain. So they need to be quite vigilant. I just love it when they scurry around the landscape in a haphazard sort of way ... but then periodically stop, look, & listen. Reminds me of something I always learned in elementary school when approaching a railroad crossing or even crossing an ordinary street. LOL

 

Kidding aside, squirrels are a photographer's best friend when the wildlife is scarce. I can remember trudging through thigh high snow in Denali NP chasing them ... yes, it was a slow day then too.

 

This particular one though was taken in Yellowstone NP last May. I just loved the way this little guy popped up on the rock to survey its surroundings for danger.

 

Thanks for stopping by to view. Hope that everyone is having a great weekend so far.
