It looks like Grape is eager to become the new boss after Streifi passed away - posing like a head honcho already works (Squirrels-2021-2428.jpg)
After 5 weeks, I am back at the park with my beloved squirrels. I'm not sure who this is. It might be P. Diddy :D (Squirrels-2021-6180.jpg)

This is one of 3 siblings - and she is a girl! We called her Winnie. They are about 10 weeks old now and the kids of our lovely Mama squirrel. It's so much fun seeing them exploring this new world! (Squirrels-2020-5416.jpg)
When Grape took over the territory his posture completely changed. He is now showing his power for everybody to see (Squirrels-2021-2675.jpg)
This shot reminds me of a proud drummer sitting in front of a new huge percussion set. The squirrels develop their winter pelt now. It's already visible with the growing tufts, but also by longer, darker/grey and more dense hair (Squirrels-2019-3614.jpg)
This little rascal, Dusty, welcomed me this morning. Really happy to see him still around. Last year he couldn't really use his tail and it was constantly chafing on the ground... I like how the rising sun causes the grass to glow (Squirrels-2021-4039.jpg)
Hazel is now 3 years old, and it looks like she's checking the outer perimeters of her territory. I found her some 400 meters away, where I saw her last time (Squirrels-2021-0792.jpg)
Trick in innocent mode 😇 Squirrels can spread their toes which increases their "footprint" to find better grip (Squirrels-2020-1059.jpg)
Buddy is a very beautiful female red squirrel and I believe she is still expecting... (Squirrels-2021-3326.jpg)

A colony of Prairie Dogs foraging on a Desert Willow in the late afternoon. They really seemed to enjoy shredding the leaves off the branches.
It was about -4 °C this morning and everything was frosted. The squirrels don't seem to bother at all. This is Hazel, my favorite female red squirrel, on a frozen branch (Squirrels-2019-0775.jpg)
With the grey-brown fur Pepper is one of the most beautiful squirrels in the park. Unfortunately, he will soon also lose his winter coat (Squirrels-2020-1895.jpg)
Buddy, a 9 months old female red squirrel, clasped her hands in front of her face. Actually she did extensive grooming, but the snapshot suggests playing the popular game (Squirrels-2019-9694.jpg)
Our Mama squirrel needs lots of food for her cubs now. I don't expect to see them for another 4-5 weeks or so, but I'm really looking forward to (Squirrels-2020-5947.jpg)
Today was a wonderful sunny day and Hazel, my favorite red squirrel, enjoyed sitting next to me on that log. It appears she is smiling and so did I while I took this picture 😊 (Squirrels-2019-4783.jpg)
He/she is a Red Squirrel. Not much larger than a chipmunk really.
Sometimes it sits out there and kicks up such a ruckus.... sounds like a miniature version of a one man band. Chirping, whirring, squeaking, chucking and buzzing ... more or less all at the same time. It's pretty funny to hear.
It must be something that upsets him.. and sometimes that 'something' is me I suppose. Like this day.
He was sitting there resting, after many attempts at the Squirrel Buster bird feeders. Of course they are almost impossible for him to access..but, I may have seen him manage a bit of a nut out of one. He is very tiny and light and therefore... might not activate the closing aspect of them to the full extent if they are not dialled in for his tiny weight. And, I usually have them open as big as possible for the Flickers and Blue jays...
I watched him for about 20 minutes..he is very persistent... and then, I opened the window and talked to him. Took a few pictures. He glared at me and began his tirade. I went out and put some nuts on the patio wall for him and finally, after scolding me for another 5 or so minutes..he jumped over there to check out the little pile of goodies.
Then, he was totally quiet. Just sat there enjoying every tiny bite and it took foooorrreevver for him to finish one pecan.... yes, I buy the birds and animals special bags of mixed nuts from the Bird Seed store....nothing but the best for my critters. But, don't tell my neighbours.... one has squirrel problems and would be horrified to know I feed them....the other hates any woodpeckers with a passion because they have pecked many holes in her stucco....something about the new type of stucco and possibly the Tyvek insulation under it that attracts them.

This is Mario, one of the tiny baby squirrels I shot in August. It was the first time Mario saw the open sky. A very beautiful moment!

Hazel, my favorite female red squirrel, appears to smile which in turn makes me smile (Squirrels-2020-2921.jpg)
This is Hazel looking at me. I like the reflections of the blue sky and the trees around us in her eye. Hazel is just one of a kind: It’s really amazing to document her life with my camera. Maybe one day I'll release a photo book with the best pictures of her (Squirrels-2019-5314.jpg)
This is Grisu, a resident male red squirrel. I was taking photos in case he wants to apply for squirrel of the year (Squirrels-2020-3932.jpg)
