We spotted this red squirrel near a shrub in St. Louis County, Minnesota.

Once again Boss was the star of the show at the squirrel feeding place. Dude, you've got oak flowers in your tail.

I'm Jack the Squirrel and I'm so cool.

A frequent visitor retrieving nuts buried earlier, had to shoot through glass so not as sharp as I would like.

Squirrels in general are very tame animals. These Golden-Sided Ground Squirrels are very inquisitive, and they'll run right up to you. One actually ran over my sister's foot.

I was finding it difficult to take pictures with my S L R, camera when leading walks and recording wildlife on a number of local Nature Reserves. So I got a Nikon p900 bridge camera to take quick record shots. And found it very good.

sabbietage and me also went to check the squirrels out after Turner Contemporary opening. We almost had the place to ourselves and the squirrels.

I continue to adore the slow-witted but astoundingly cute Delmarva fox squirrel. I'm sure this one believes wholeheartedly that if he stays very, very still, and can't see you, well... you can't see him. Nice thought, but fails a little in the execution.

Squirrel in Schönbrunn Palace park

This fellow had a fun week of taunting various cats on the other side of the glass.

This disabled squirrel seems to be doing well with three paws.At first I thought it was holding its paw up as they do but it did not run as normal.

I think I was in the minority for not having a bag of monkey nuts with me. These guys are well fed!

Hidden Grove - This little guy wasn't too concerned about us, but we could hear an owl nearby so hope he was careful!

Squirrel Portrait. He posed for quite a while on my back porch. It made me smile because he was covered with bits of leaves and dirt. He had been eating.

He just can't get enough!
