Black squirrels are very common in my area. They are a melanistic subgroup of the Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). They seem more aggressive than other squirrels, at least in my yard, so much so that only black squirrels remain by autumn, and they are continuously chasing each other as well as any other squirrels remaining.

 

This one was seen amid the fallen autumn leaves on a trail along West Grand Traverse Bay, near the point of Old Mission Peninsula, Peninsula Township, Michigan.

Yes, it can land on such thin branches and hunt low on them.

During summer months Catbirds are often heard before they are seen, as they remain in underbrush and make a mewing call that sounds very much like a cat. But at other times, I have been fooled by a very different Catbird song, one with melodious notes copied from other birds.

 

This picture shows an early Spring Catbrid at Lake St.Clair Metropark, Michigan.

Taken earlier this year of Mr. Friendly. This guy allows me to take lots of photos at any distance. Hope he shows up again during winter. Click for large view.

I tucked myself in between two shrubs and shot these frames vertically. I was too close to fit him in landscape orientation. He looked at me only once and I barely captured it when he did. Hoping we get rains soon so the terrain greens up. Click for large version.

Thank you very much to all your faves and kindly comments. It’s greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend to all ;))

Wild. Facts: Overall, the gray brocket remains widespread and common, but it has decreased or even disappeared from near human populations. In Bolivia, the population appears to remain constant despite great hunting pressure, and it is the most common deer in Brazil, though it is declining in some regions. In Argentina, it is declining due to habitat loss and hunting, and in Paraguay, it has declined from regions with high human densities.

The gray brocket occurs in 14 national and provincial reserves in Argentina, as well as seven reserves in Bolivia, and numerous reserves in Paraguay and Brazil. Though hunting is illegal in many areas in the gray brocket's range, bans are generally not enforced. To prevent further population declines, hunting laws need to be enforced, stray dogs from human populations should be controlled, and local village populations should be educated to preserve the gray brocket populations. Additionally, population studies are needed to determine the status of the gray brocket, to be better equipped to help it.

 

Happy Wednesday! HBW!

 

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!
