A squirrel finding some of the nuts his buddies forgot they'd buried.

Squirrels at school

Red squirrel, Strathspey.

This little guy let me get just close enough to take a picture but never took his eyes off me while he sat there munching away. SQUIRREL..!!

Caught this guy in mid stride running away from me as I found him in my bird feeder. :(

A funny little tree squirrel came over to check me out, while I am in the woods.

Black (melanistic) phase

Sciurus carolinensis

Virtually all Eastern Grays in this (northern) part of their range are melanistic. It is thought that the expression of this recessive gene has something to do with survival in the colder climes.

I got the sense I was being observed while looking for more Praying Mantid to photograph. I looked up, and there was this squirrel, probably wondering what I was doing.

We tossed a few pieces of corn on the cob under a big tree in our back yard and this little girl came running. After she was done eating, she came right up to the patio and begged for some more!

(We couldn't decide if maybe she looked pregnant....or nursing babies?)

This little guy came up really, really close to get some sunflower seeds that someone left behind. He was very tame--I'm sure he's used to handouts.

The other day I was out feeding my bird friends, and I noticed this squirrel having a good ol' time all by himself (herself?). I haven't figured out how to do video on my camera yet, so I just snapped away. This set has some of the funniest stills as well as a a stop-action video of all the stills.

A shy one. He did not want me to take his picture.

I was having fun using an old cheap Vivitar 200mm. lens.

A variegated squirrel (Sciurus variegatoides) with the national bird of Costa Rica in the foreground, the clay-colored thrush (Turdus grayi). Exact location unknown.

Trying to turn around so we can't see him eating.

Was very close to this little fella taking this shot. I was using a 100mm lens. He was more concerned about his food than me.

Squirrel eatting an apple core. Photo was taken in downtown Denver, Colorado.

A squirrel, munching on something or other.

This little buddy was actually posing for me, being very curious and getting extremely close to my camera.

I love Red Squirrels and I'm fortunate enough to be able to see them on a regular basis at my parents home on the edge of Kielder forest. This squirrel is particularly inquisitive and was happy to check me out while I took a series of photos.
