On the 13th day of the trip, I again got up early at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. A lovely Southern Cordonbleu (Uraeginthus angolensis), a blue waxbill perched nearby. I didn't notice until just now that a tree squirrel or Smith's bush squirrel (Paraxerus cepapi) was also in the tree.
Naz (from absenter.org) and Jen (treesquirrel.org) take watch over the Gapers Block table at the DIY Trunk Show. I am really curious to see how many hits I get due to google searches for "the money shot" :)
I was on the deck when suddenly I had squirrel visitors. Locally, these were call tree squirrels, but they are actually Smith's bush squirrel (Paraxerus cepapi).
On the 12th day of the trip, I got up early at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, in time for the sunrise and for early visitors to the decks and waterhole.
Eastern Gray Squirrel
Taken 10.21.2014 The eastern gray squirrel has grayish-brown fur, except for its belly, which has pale fur. Also known as a tree squirrel, it has a slender, lanky body, long, muscular limbs, and furred feet. Its large, bright eyes convey an alert demeanour, and the broad, short head tapers to a rounded muzzle adorned with long whiskers. Its bushy tail often has silvery-tipped hairs at the end. The squirrel is the Native American symbol for preparation, trust and thriftiness. The word "squirrel" means "shadow tail" in Greek.PC:251.292
