A quick visit to Morton Lochs (before the car park and hides are closed for renovation for next week) where the squirrels are feverishly stocking up their winter larders. Always on the move and at times just too close for my 300mm lens. I noticed several of them had obvious signs of squirrel pox/leprosy which was sad to see, but didn't seem to slow down those affected. This individual appeared to have no obvious signs, so hopefully some have immunity.

A squirrel to some is a squirrel,
To others, a squirrel's a squirl.
Since freedom of speech is the birthright of each,
I can only this fable unfurl:
A virile young squirrel named Cyril,
In an argument over a girl,
Was lambasted from here to the Tyrol
By a churl of a squirl named Earl.
-- Ogden Nash

Squirrels from 17-mile Drive.
These squirrels are very curious. Instead of running away from me, they ran toward me, examining my camera lens.

Fun and games watching the cheeky squirrels on Brownsea Island. A big thank you to the people who view or comment on my photos and also add them as favourites.

This batch of photos of our favorite squirrel friends is for our Flickr friend Leah (lebenorris) who recently let us know she has missed them. She inspired me to take the camera out this morning, and as if on cue, everyone came out to greet me and pose. I hope you enjoy them!

“The eastern grey squirrel is the largest tree squirrel found in eastern Canada. It is predominantly a nut-eating species and its historic range coincided with the vast tracts of hardwood forests in eastern North America, in particular with oak and hickory trees.
Eastern grey squirrels Sciurus carolinensis commonly occur in two colour phases, grey and black, which leads people to think—mistakenly—that there are two different species. Black is often the dominant colour in Ontario and Quebec, toward the northern limits of the species’ range. Farther south the black phase is less common and is not found at all in the southern United States. This may indicate that the gene responsible for black coloration has some cold-weather adaptation associated with it.”

This little guy was on a rampage on our balcony on a cold, damp, wintry morning. He was busy exploring in the beginning. Soon afterwards, he decided to take it easy and remained perfectly balanced on the railing. A perfect subject for a photo shoot!!!!
