A Fox Squirrel chewing on an unusual, smooth-shelled walnut (Carpathian?), in the woods at the Erie Nature Center.
A squirrel, looking for a place to bury his nut. I was able to get really close to him by taking a step whenever his head was down in the ground digging.
eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
Gray squirrels build a type of nest, known as a drey, in the forks of trees.They will raid bird feeders for millet and sunflower seeds but they are reported to dislike the slight capsaicin content of safflower seeds. The eastern gray squirrel consumes a variety of foods, including insects, nestling birds, various seeds and acorns, walnuts, and other nuts.
A squirrel on the path in a local park. Unfortunately, the light was a little too low and the squirrel a little too quick, so this was the best shot I got. I've done a little bit of un-sharpen masking on it.
Shame it was a grey and not a red.
The squirrels at my office are always begging for treats. They look in the windows and run up to us when they think there is going to be food.
These little fellas are plentiful at Sax-Zim bog. They are smaller than the red and gray squirrels around our area. They are so cute, you wanted to pick one up, put it in your pocket and take it home !
Three squirrels were industriously gathering acorns in one area of the garden and running with them to another part of the garden. Their path took them directly under a bench in a vine covered arbor, so of course I just had to sit on the bench to see what they would do. The first one didn't notice me and darn near ran over the ends of my feet. The second one detoured up the arbor and over my head. This one stopped to think things over for a while and decided to circle around me.
I saw this little guy in the back yard a few days ago, but I finally managed to get a picture of him just now.

Gray squirrel eating dropped birdseed. (I just realized this isn't a fox squirrel after all! Gray squirrels that are actually gray are so uncommon around here that I didn't look closely enough.)
