Red-Tailed Hawk with captured Eastern Gray Squirrel.

At 18 to 25 inches long with a wingspan of 4 feet, the Red-Tailed Hawk is a large stocky hawk. Typical light-phased birds have a whitish breast and a rust-colored tail. Young birds are duller, more streaked and lack the rust-colored tail of the adult. They are distinguished from the Red-Shouldered and Swainson's hawks by their white chest, stocky build and broader, more rounded wings. This bird is quite variable in coloring especially in the West where blackish individuals occur usually retaining the rusty tail.

The inhabit deciduus forests and open country of various kinds including tundra, plains and farmlands.

They range from Alaska east to Nova Scotia and southward throught the United States. They winter from southern British Columbia to Canada's maritime provinces.

This lil darling is always fun to watch and provide peanuts for...

This pose reminded me of someone examining his/her nails. I thought about putting five playing cards fanned out into the hand, but thought that detracted from the natural cuteness of the squirrel.

This cute little squirrel was so curious about me and my camera and it did some quite impressive posing for me! I think its a pretty young male. Shooting was so funny but post-processing showed the detail I was able to catch which I think is pretty amazing!

Taken yesterday in my garden, the snow has nearly all gone now!

Not sure if this link will work after today ( a little video I did of my squirrels getting ready for Christmas, edited and set to music by my publisher) www.ew.com/article/2015/12/02/merry-christmas-squirrels-t...

This little one looks like he is in fairyland, he was too cute to watch and capture. He finally after about 5 minutes found his acorn and our session together was over.

Our garden squirrel

These squirrels are certainly on the large side measuring up to 16 inches in length. This one photographed near the summit of Logan Pass in Montana was found in their typical mountain habitat.

At the time I took this photograph I didn't posses a zoom lens. As such even with a small crop it can be seen how tame the squirrel was.
