I find squirrels to be fascinating creatures, one of my favourite animals

I sometimes stamp my feet and chirp in response to one of the local American Red Squirrel doing the same when complaining about another squirrel in the yard. These discussions can sometimes last for a few minutes.

Unfortunately the grey squirrel has taken over England and red squirrels are only seen in small parts of Scotland, i find them to be intelligent creatures and are fascinating to watch.

The Eastern Gray Squirrel found in towns and cities in this part of Ontario is the same species as the Grey Squirrel introduced to the U.K. but the virus doesn’t seem to affect the American Red Squirrel as their habitat overlaps to a degree.

Lovely capture!

Thanks Sue.

Adorable! Such a lovely capture, David 🙂 🙂

Thanks Jo. I was going through my files looking for a squirrel or chipmunk looking up at the sky until I found this shot.

what a great model 🙂

Yes, I stopped looking for one looking up at the sky when I found this shot.

How far away were you when you took this shot?

Lying in the grass 8 to 10 feet away. That would have been close to the minimum focus distance of the lens.

Wow, you must have been patient

I was set up for birds and small mammals so would lie there for hours.

Wow!

I probably couldn’t do it now. My messed up right shoulder would be throbbing after resting on my elbows for a few minutes.

Cute! 🙂

Thanks Tom. I thought the way the squirrel was watching something made it more interesting.

Great shot!

Thanks. I’ve been wondering what has caught its attention since editing the shot for the squares challenge.
